Does anyone here have absolute pitch?

I usually go by a clock and use 120 as reference.

First quiz...3/12.

Second Quiz...4/12.

I really didn't know what I was doing.

I have absolutely no musical experience. I can tell if something is higher or lower in pitch relative to the sound given, obviously, but I don't know exactly what note it is, if that makes sense.

I remember my violin teacher testing me on this and telling me that I had perfect pitch. That was when I was about 8 though, and I have long since forgotten mostly everything about musical notes.

I got 7 of 12 right for the first test but that's just because I'm good at going up and down the steps in my head.

Theres a large difference between relative pitch and perfect pitch. If you have perfect ptch you can tell what notes are ut of tune, and how out of tune the are. Relatve pitch is having a general sense of a nte, but not being perfecty in tune. Both of these are extremely hard to acquire, but peple are smetimes born with them.

Apparently you do not understand the meaning of the word "gay". Unless you meant that it was a happy jovial excuse. Or the excuse likes other excuses of the same sex. Or you're an idiot.

My good friend has it. One time I made a sound by blowing on a plastic bottle and he told me what pitch it was. He's a three-year All-State trombonist as well.
I've heard it is just as much a curse as it is a skill. I imagine it must get pretty annoying hearing crappy musicians if you have perfect pitch.

I have perfect pitch; it's acquired, and I often use several reference pitches (usually C, D-flat, E-flat. I know, seems kinda weird, but all notes make a clean interval with one of those references, so it works lol), but occasionally I can identify a pitch without references. My brother has true perfect pitch, the genetic kind that allows you to identify pitch without references. He could identify the key of anything he heard when he was like 3 years old. /envy, wrists

Also, I thought "relative pitch" was being able to identify intervals, without necessarily being able to identify the actual pitches.

And I thought I have at least some kind of musical ear:

First test 1/12
Second test 4/12

I think I could get a better score with some practice though. For example, when my guitar is even slightly out of tune, I usually hear it and I can tune it by ear quite accurately. I just haven't practiced intervals or naming a note or anything like that pretty much at all recently, so that may be the reason for the low score.
