mDecks Musical IQ Test

How to take the test
This is an interactive musical IQ test (30 questions in 20 min.)
We recommend using headphones for this test.
This test is different from the Harvard Musical IQ test (a.k.a. MUSICLAB from Yale) and it gives you instant feedback on your answers.

• The questions are synced to the video’s playing time and will be automatically highlighted.
• You can pause or rewind the video if you want.
• Pausing the video also pauses the sync, letting you scroll back to answer any previous questions.
• Once you’ve answered a question, it will be disabled, so you can’t change your answers. Choose wisely :)
• An explanation will appear immediately after you answer the question.
• Concentration is key! Many people achieve worse results simply due to lack of concentration.

When you are ready, start playing the video.
You can also watch the video on another device and answer the questions here (the only difference is that questions won’t auto-scroll).
