Most rhythms can be written in a number of different time signatures, and in that sense they can be largely subjective, so this quiz is kinda bunk just on principle. I mean, they made 2/4 and 4/4 separate options when there's literally no audible difference between the two.

That said, I got 11/12.

The one I got wrong was #2 (I said 3/4) because I totally misheard where the intended accent was. They didn't even give the notes any accents though.

I should also point out that I pride myself on my musical transcription abilities; it's one of the things I do best in the world, particularly complex rhythms and meters. And I got 11/12 on this.

So take from that what you will.

this does make me feel slightly better

[spoiler=quiz spoils]

i got #s 2, 3 and 6 wrong, but in 2 and 6 i at least picked the only alternative that could subjectively be correct

i guess i just can't discern the audible difference between 3/4 time and 6/8 time, there must be some objective way to do it but it really does feel completely arbitrary

as for #3, i'm simply at a loss as for why it couldn't also be 2/4, because that's what i picked lol befuddlement[/spoiler]

yeah i only got 7 because i've memorized guitar tuning and can sing out the pitches so i used that to try and find the notes, i'm not actually that good it took me a long time for every one
