      i think that’s why he did worse on the section. he tried to quantify something that’s really wasn’t meant to be. it would be like taking a middle school science test and getting a lot wrong because the answers were geared toward students who are not privy to more advanced assessment.

      It's actually interesting. I think that "mistuning perception" had little to do with the perfect pitch. I have, if you can say so, the opposite of the perfect pitch and I'm not a musician, so I did awfully in melodic discrimination - only 80. But I scored higher than them in beat alignment (109) and better than Eddy in mistuning perception (110). I think the fact that I listen to opera a lot helped me immensely. Instrumentalists don't always seem to "feel" the vocal music.

    The pressures of being an Asian student.
    Brett scores 84%...”I FAILED!”
    Eddy scores 88%...”If my mom saw this, my mom would beat me.”
    If you’re Asian, you can relate to this, especially when you get your report card...
    A = ‘“Ah, okay,” says your parent
    B = Beating
    C = Can’t go home
    D = Disowned by your parents.
    F = Find a new home.

      @@quabledistocficklepo3597 I agree a lot can be interpretation, but judging a folk-country modern style of music only is not something a college music student or maybe (depending on the program) even a highschool music student would study/learn. Classical or even just music that is vocally more structured and less in a style that is supposed to slide in/out of tune between notes for performance sake should have been included in the test imo. Not to say the songs played were not good, but from a structured music background where every note must be judged for accuracy rather than specific artist expression is how we can at least train our ears as professionally trained musicians to refine our abilities to perform more works than what we like ourselves to serve a variety of audiences. But I appreciate your point of view as well, having not considered that side of things.

    The ironic thing is when Eddy has perfect pitch and gets a lower score than brett in a tune perception test😂

    I'm actually reassured after watching the video. I took the test just before watching it and got 112 total IQ with like 115 for melody and voice tuning and I failed the beat with 108. I was really frustrated and embarrassed, but that I see you guys scream at your results I feel much better. xDDD

      Shows that the test is flawed. The first test is comically simple but then again shows ridiculous examples, the rhythm and pitch ones are very questionable.
      In the test they even admit that it might be wrong and needs changing - I think it's fundamentally flawed, judging from everything I've seen in other videos about it as well.

      To be fair Brett was able to tell if the singers tune was flatter or sharper. With a trained ear in music(brett 20+yrs) he may not have perfect pitch, but he can tell the difference. Perfect pitch I think comes in more for notes and other music theory applications. But most people can tell the difference when something is a bit sharper or flatter

    I took this test and I was so confused when it came to the tuning part because I couldn't tell if it was actually out of tune or if I just didn't like the singer's voice!!
    Also, I got around the same score as you. It's actually not a terrible score--since it's in percentiles, not grades--but it still makes me feel a lot better. This test is really not geared towards classical musicians.

      I got 113 and I also think the singer part is arguable for some questions since we don't know whether "out of tune" means the amount of dissonance there is or just how the vocal doesn't fit the chords in accompaniment
