About this test
A tone deaf test that plays two notes of slightly different pitch and asks whether the second is higher or lower. It starts with a semitone (100 cents) gap, makes the gap smaller after two correct answers in a row and larger after a miss, and so homes in on the smallest pitch difference you can hear. The starting note changes every time, so you cannot simply memorize it. After 30 questions you get your pitch discrimination threshold in cents.
