What is AMVI? Associative Musical Visual Intelligence (or "amvi" for short) is a type of intelligence that's difficult enough to define, let alone test. Many creative people can associate across sensory domains: they "hear" hints of shapes and can "taste" the essense of colors. At its most extreme this phenomenon is called synesthesia. However, I believe that creative people subconsciously employ elements of synesthesia every day when attempting to think of things in new ways. This is a logic test that attempts to measure one's ability to correlate musical phrases with abstract shapes and symbols. |
Like the tonedeaf test, this test is purposefully made very hard, so even trained musicians rarely score above 90% correct. However, no musical training is required to take the test: Give it a try! After the test, the statistics for each question are provided at the bottom of this page.
About me:
I graduate from the university of massachusetts medical school in 2008, and will begin radiology residency after an internship in internal medicine. I am interested in applying radiological technology to brain tumor treatments, neurodegenerative diseases, and acute treatment of stroke. My medical school research at the music and neuroimaging laboratory at harvard medical school got me interested in brain function and music perception. Before I started medical school, I had a career as a musician, composing several electronic music albums under my own name. My fourth album has recently been finished and will be released soon (exciting anouncement coming soon about that). If you wish to contact me, you can find my contact info here.
After completing the test, your score will be automatically and anonymously submitted.
