Interpreting your score:
6 or fewer questions correct answers: Results suggest you may be tone deaf, provided your hearing isn’t otherwise impaired.
7 correct answers: Only about a 12% chance that you could’ve gotten this many correct by luck, which means there’s about an 88% chance that you possess the neurobiological apparatus needed to play by ear!
8 correct answers: Now the odds are less than 10% you’re tone deaf. Pretty unlikely!
9 correct answers: You probably got distracted during one of the questions. Either way, you’re not tone deaf.
10 correct answers: No excuses, you’ve got what it takes to play banjo by ear! Now all you have to do is practice doing it!
