Hi Paul, I have made the test, it was funny and interesting.

I don´t know how to copy the other results:

Match the beat: out of 18 pieces 14 were right and 4 wrong

Tap to the beat: out of 9 pieces 5 were high and four were medium

Melody memory: out of 12 pieces 11 were right and 1 wrong

It looks like I'm pretty antisocial...well, I really don´t like to sing "Happy Birthday" at parties  Grin

Juan

I guess my emotional connection score is directly referred to the test itself .haha - :-)

Group the music , well I don't do test to group the music usually . Rhythm , Harmony and Melody are such a complex combination , and when I enjoy it ( a lot ) do not tend to " group " it .
What about  AOR , Adult Oriented Rock for example?

By the way I was playing Bach minuettos at the age of 7 .

Cheers

So ...

My enthusiasm for music is moderate, what I perceive from it beats all, I'm quite emotional with it, I can be socially creative (with some drinks around I guess), I will stick to the Led Zeps forever, I'm not the best at beatmatching (beach matcing ?), I'm not the best of a drummer with the notice my clock resolution is also not the best on this old XP machine, and at least I can memorize a few things.
And oh, hip-hop is the same as jazz to me, as is rock and pop.

bye

Mmmm ...... drains up time - I guess I must be better listening to it than playing it. Just as well after all the time spent building and tweaking this system.

Looks like I am not very sociable after all - better cancel the Thursday music and drinks evenings (no chance ha ha).
