also gotta figure you have a 50/50 shot of getting it right. So that has to figure in somewhat.

"At 500 Hz, you can reliably differentiate two tones 3.6 Hz apart."

Better of 2 tries.

I just took it with my earbuds, and I got 0.975. That's with actually being able to discern the difference and no guessing.

Anyway I dont trust this somehow, because the average person absolutely sucks when it comes to telling the difference between notes when a song is played, and they happily play off tune without noticing... However the results page tells us that less than 4 is the normal ear? I beg to differ, either they are only testing audiophiles or somethings wrong with that statistic

I imagine the flaw comes from people being able to retake the test and improve.

Doesn't matter, the pattern is different every time. All you are doing is training your ears to recognize the difference. However, if you have hearing damage then you will never get lower then a certain level. IMO the more times you take it, the more accurate your results will be.
