2020-03-05: Musical IQ
Of course, you know about the IQ (intelligence quotient) tests which were very popular in the past century. You may also know how many your personal IQ is. There are a lot of tests variations created nowadays. But all of them are dealt with people common intelligence, that is the ability to solve some kind of logical problems, like choosing the wrong item from the list, or combine parts of objects into the whole one.
Yesterday I read the news about the special IQ test focused purely on music abilities. It's located here: https://www.themusiclab.org/quizzes/miq. The result this test gives is pretty like the usual IQ. The score of 100 is a median value. Half of the people have "musical IQ" below 100, and the other half have above this. So you may measure whether you are more music-capable than the others.
Unfortunately, I'm completely incapable of music. I didn't even try to pass the test. Luckily, I've found the video on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b15BrgrctPs) of the test pass-thru with very interesting comments about how the tasks are built and if the results are really so meaningful as test's authors pretend us to be.
After watching the video, I realized that I want to pass the test myself because my own answers were almost the same as the narrator's ones. I hope I'll find half an hour in the near future. Maybe I've been wrong about my musical intelligence?
