Test for Absolute Pitch

AKA "Perfect Pitch"....

This test is a sequence of 36 simulated piano tones, ranging over a few octaves. (Preceded by four "practice" tones.) An amazing aspect of this test is an associated study, where children raised on a pitch-sensitive language (like Mandarin) scored significantly higher than children raised on a purely phonetic (Western) language.

I went through the whole thing once without repeating anything. Got 33 of 36 correct (91 percent). (37 of 40 including the practice tones.) The three I missed were all erred a semi-tone high.
