I know I don't score all that good on those tests.
But I know how usless they are to check if someone can hear audio quality.
The brain really gets in the way with those tests.

Is 111222 based on a real attempt or just something you wrote?
It's not a useless way to check if someone can hear and differentiate audio quality. Blind test comparisons is basically the only way to do it. The fact it's blind is supposed to prevent the brain from getting in the way. If you listen to something with a preconcieved idea of the comparative quality of what it is you're listening to, then that's gonna affect your answer. That's why new medication has to be tested against placebos, because people are expecting to get a drug which works regardless of whether it really does. If you don't have any preconcieved ideas, like in a blind test, that helps eliminate that problem. Furthermore, this way gives definite yes/no data which is easy to use in statistics to prove simple hypotheses, provided you get enough data.
