It says on the homepage of the link above that "Good Ear helps you to develop good ears" but I don't see how. If I was someone who couldn't identify intervals or chord types I think I would get frustrated doing these tests without having someway to learn why I was wrong. That's my opinion. Plus most of us I think have trained our ears without doing interval recognition exercises.
Intervals have a distinctive characteristic sound to each one, the more you do it the more you get to recognize the sound, its really just training through repetition and practice on your piano, lol speaking of that i should really dust off the ol' piano
