My daughter who plays bass, pointed me to the musical IQ test here. I had some problems with it. Most egregious is how answers are shown in such close proximity to the next question, so you are distracted while needing to move forward. The quality of the vocalists is another. I was also distracted trying to figure out if the rhythm test involved music and beats that were at different tempi or whether they were just off-beat. I did score above average, but not to the degree I expected (I scored 100% on the tone-deafness quiz). Not a big deal. But I'd be interested to hear other people's reactions. Mine is basically "that's a music IQ test?"

A good follow-up once you have taken it is to go to YouTube and watch the TwoSet gang take it.

My overall IQ is 110, well short of Musical Genius.

I did best on Mistuning Perception, worst on Beat Alignment. It's fair
to say that I ain't got rhythm.
