Perfect Pitch?

Heard a prof from McGill University this am on the radio researching perfect pitch and its evil cousin tone deafness. He has devised ways of ascertaining if a person as such a gift even if that person is not a musician and, therefore, does not have the musical vocabulary to express their perceptions. Question: how many of you have perfect pitch and do so-called golden ears ipso facto have such a gift?

I don't play any musical instruments but can usually whistle passages of a tune I've just heard for the first time pretty much in key. A friend here at work has the same enthusiasm for whistling as I do, but when he responds to a song I have no idea what he's whistling.

Is this what you mean?
