Tone deaf?
Don't recall where I came across this, but it's a kind of interesting - if unscientific - check of your pitch perception. http://jakemandell.com/tonedeaf/ Quick hint, cause the instructions are a tad vague - when you start, you'll hear a series of pitches in a particular timbre. Wait a few seconds - then the comparison starts. Your job is to decide if the two series are the same. This guy says 80% is quite good for experienced musicians - I hit 92%, so I'm breaking out the "Cocky" belt buckle...

83.3% . But I didn't see it as a test for tone deafness, more as a test for short term musical memory. I thought I had done a whole lot worse than that...
