UCSF Absolute Pitch Perfect Pitch Test by AspergerShawn

UCSF Absolute Pitch Perfect Pitch Test which I took It consists of 80 tones which you have to identify - the score is based on 72 of these tones, as the other eight are not counted (for very high or very low notes at the extremes), giving a maximum of 36 as a possible score on each of the two parts of the test. It's not so very important to have perfect pitch, but it is the only thing I'm good at in life, no kidding. If you think the video is dumb you probably are right, but I like things like this. The researchers had me fill out a questionnaire in which they asked me whether I had ever been diagnosed with an Autism Spectrum Disorder or Aspergers Syndrome - I have Aspergers so I find it interesting that they should ask this question.

what's your prolobe lvl may I ask? I agree neat party trick.

[aspergershawn]

@maestroanth I'm now at level 26, but I'm not doing any more prolobe until I get better synthesized sounds.  The Java sound synth is not working for me, I get the weirdest unnatural sounds which do not correspond to anything I hear on a real acoustic piano, so that's that for prolobe.

@aspergershawn

You look pretty good, All prolobe would do is objectify your ear on out. Can you hear any pitch from any sound? Those strike me the most than w/e they call 'natural' instrument.

@maestroanth

I hear the notes regardless of timbre or instrument, synthesized or whatever - if it has a pitch then I hear it. I understand from some comments on various websites that some people listen to overtones to figure out the note - I don't do that, I just know it automatically. Anyway, who cares about AP? I'm glad to have it, because I was trained as a classical pianist and it is amazingly useful, but that said I have to say I feel sorry for those people who obsess about it.

Yes, I can transcribe a "song" - I'm conservatory trained. I don't know what you mean by melody triggers.
