This totally depends on the quality of your speakers/headphones. On some of these (high pitched) tests, my speakers don't even make a sound, whereas my headphones clearly plays them.

Pitch Test: I got to 0.09375..

At 500hz, you can reliably differentiate two tones 1.9875hz apart..

Rythm Test: 80%

Tonedeaf Test: 88.9%

nice test, but I suppose it might be influenced by the equipment. I got 10hz and 6hz with my speakers, but 2.4 and 1.9 with my headphones. The other two were 84% and 81%.

rhythm 84%
I can't get the tondeaf to load right now
My pitch difference was all over the place, I think its my $5 headphones, so I'm not even going to post that value.

these are horrible tests.

1 is a measure of your speaker quality. My Z-2300s aren't that great, but I can get it down to the 1.5hz mark.

3 is just terrible. Ever taken a music test? Even advanced level panel for certificate of merit piano test is nothing like this. It's almost like someone speed reading and seeing if they changed a word or two.

True music ability and tone-deafness is demonstrated with sight singing. There are far too many people who can't sing a P4 vs. P5 chord. It's sad.

I remember taking a sightsinging class for fun and it was sad just watching people try to do a 5 note major scale. It seems people just increase pitch without realizing that you need to increase pitch a certain amount to be a full note increment. Difference in pitch is science... Anyone can do that. Being able to hit the right notes is a matter of tone deaf.
