Test my music test

[cos]

Years ago I made a "Music of the World" test on OkCupid, testing one's breadth of knowledge about music from all over the world. Recently I overhauled the test - about 1/3 ot the questions are new, most other questions have one or two new answer choices, some are reworded, and they're all rearranged into sections.

Scores don't give you fun categories yet, because I don't know how to score it. I need more people to take it!

Even people who know a lot more than I about music probably won't get 100% without using Google. I only got 94% and I made the test! But what scores mean what in the real world? The more I see scores from people I know, and whose level of music knowledge I'm familiar with, the better a sense I'll get. Wanna take the test and tell me what you got? (without Googling for answers, of course :)

That was a REALLY tough quiz, for me at least. I got 56%; for some questions I was really clueless. My background: I know a fair bit about classical, a smattering of other kinds -- but some of the Klezmer questions, which I thought I'd have a chance with, were really tough. For example, the instrument which you can't have klezmer without... ??? I picked clarinet, although I thought that fiddle or accordian could have been valid answers, as well.

Clarinet is the one truly essential instrument for klezmer. Fiddle and accordion are commonly used, but plenty of klezmer bands lack one or the other, and they still sound totally klezmer. Without a clarinet you just cannot make a band really sound like klezmer.

[ Edit: In fact, I just saw my favorite klezmer band perform last week, and they have no accordion ]

BTW, on this quiz there are many questions where while one answer is best, some answers are wronger or righter than others. It's not all or nothing.

But yes, it totally is a really tough quiz, which hopefully will give a lot of variation between people who do know music, rather than lumping them all at >90%. Which is why I'm trying to calibrate.
