Heh, it took me quite some time to reailze how it worked. I sort of thought the sound had to conjure up an image. While the image is merely the illustration of the melodic patterns and the volume changes and pitch changes. I got 80% at first, 95% the second. Though for the third time I would know the correct answers, so that would just not be fair. :P

It was a weird test. Having an adhd day, so I didn't get very far. But what I did take was quite interesting. Looks like we have some creative people among us.
Now we expect some damn creative and intelligent posts from you guys, NO EXCUSES!
Unless you got under 50. Then you can say anything you feel like (smiles). - 3 years ago

I don't understand how I did the worst on pitch discrimination considering I've been playing some sort of instrument since 4th grade and I tend to be pretty close when I tune by ear and the fact that my attention is as high as it is when I feel like I can't concentrate on anything for more than 10 seconds is amazing.

LOL, I didn't understand this at all! Just under 50 %!
I don't see how I can put those sounds and images toghether, what makes one 'stick' to another?
On some of them, it looked like the image 'told' which way the volume was going, but thats it.

I got an 85%...some of them I really understood the visual matched with the picture, sometimes I didn't. I do a lot of art and music so I was hoping I didn't fail this test miserably!

Yeah, this is nothing like synesthesia. The shapes were related to the change in pitch and the relationship between phrases, but they didn't express the moods of each phrase.

I got 80%. But I dont know what the really means.
I figured out that each shape represented an instrument and a measure. So like two black squares on top of two red squares meant that two instruments were being played simultaneously for two measures. If an arrow was on top of the last black square then the pitch or tone of that instrument went up or down. Then I just tried to match the music to the movement of the shapes. Anyways, fun test :)

95%, slackers! that was fun, i have never done a puzzle like that. i wonder what it really means, though. i guess i could actually read the material, instead of just playing the game.
