Test your aural memory and pitch perception! Link from technomom.

I don't think it's fair to call it 'musical abilities' because it doesn't measure rhythmic ability.

I found that the variety of synthesized instruments with funny timbres made it quite difficult: I'd sort of be listening to one harmonic (is that the right term?), and then when it finished, think "No, wait, something else changed, didn't it?". Like the musical equivalent of the basketball-playing gorilla experiment.

The person who wrote the test mentioned in the comments that it looks like people who are tonedeaf actually have quite normal musical memory.
