PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To accurately evaluate an actual quantity of asymmetry of a magnetic head characteristic. SOLUTION: Q bit patterns are composed of a pattern L<SB>1</SB>having a magnetization reversal only in a first bit period of a half cycle of an LF pattern of square waves whose one cycle is 2M bits (M is an integer), and 1T patterns H<SB>1</SB>of 2N bits (N is an integer) and H<SB>2</SB>of 2N+1 bits are arranged in the order of L<SB>1</SB>, H<SB>1</SB>, L<SB>1</SB>, H<SB>1</SB>, L<SB>1</SB>, H<SB>2</SB>. An equation N>>M is met. The values of N are different for each of the Q bit patterns, and repeated one of the Q bit patterns is reproduced. For each of the Q bit patterns, amplitude to an average DC level of a reproduced waveform of positive and negative polarities corresponding to the LF pattern is measured among the reproduced waveforms by a waveform measuring means. An evaluation means receives Q (≥3) sets of measured value from the waveform measuring means, and calculates the actual quantity of asymmetry of the reproduced waveform corresponding to the LF pattern based on the measured values.
