ENTHUSIASM FOR MUSIC
31%
Your Enthusiasm score is: LOW
You scored higher than 31% of the population
Your ‘Enthusiasm for Music’ score shows how important music is to you in your daily life. It also indicates how much time and money you devote to music.
You scored low for enthusiasm, which suggests that music isn’t particularly important to you. You probably spend less time than most people just listening to music or having music on in the background while you do other things.
It’s likely that you do listen to music occasionally, but it’s not one of your favourite activities. This indicates that you spend less than the average amount of your free-time or money on music-related activities, and rarely talk, write or read about it.
(*This one and the curiosity one for me are a bit off because I either mis-interperated some of their questions or something...)

Your results
According to a recent study, most people can identify which genre a piece of music belongs to from tiny snippets less than half a second long. ’Group the music’ tests how good you are at taking the limited but significant information from each short clip - such as the sound of the instruments, the production style and the music itself,- and using that to group similar clips together. The four genres tested were Rock, Pop, Jazz and Hip Hop.
The graphic above shows where you placed the clips - to score highly you will have placed clips of the same genre together in the same group. People who score high on this test are able to determine which genre a clip belongs to even when the differences are quite subtle. For example, some of the ‘Hip Hop’ and ‘Pop’ clips use similar sounding beats, which can make them hard to tell apart. People who score lower find it harder to process the limited information available in such short clips, sometimes even when the differences between the clips are quite pronounced.
Needless to say I got most of the rest (which you can't copy paste :<) correct which netted my 70+% after that fairly dismal one above
