Group the music by genres (missed one per genre)
Match the beat (16 out of 18)
Tap to the beat (All high, except 3 and 4 medium)
Melody Memory (10 out of 12)

As drummer, did very well with the beat and melody memory

Perception - 99%
Emotional - 55%
Social Creativity - 88%
Musical Curiosity - 24%

Mostly agree with this - music doesn't influence me that much Emotionally. But I don't get why I scored so low on the Musical Curiosity! Sure, I'm not mega-adventurous, but I feel I'm very open to new sound, and love exploring genres.

Also, I hammered the tests lol, which I am very proud of :D

I did this test on the BBC Radio 3 website:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/labuk/experiments/musicality/

It is supposed to determine how musical you are irrespective of whether you have had any formal training or anything and comprises a mixture of questionnaires and interactive audio-based tests.

I was a bit depressed to find that, although I scored highly on the "enthusiasm" category, I scored quite low in the "musical perception" category. Based on my score, it made recommendations about what sort of music I might enjoy listening to (in terms of BBC radio programmes).  It suggested that I listen to the top 40 chart show, presumably because I can't appreciate anything more demanding than that!
