I may have it, Scott! I always tended to sing things in my head at the correct pitch, but I can't sing at all!
So I just went over to my piano and hummed a middle C, played a middle C and they were spot on! Well, I waited five minutes and tried it with F. Spot-on! Problem is, I had to register C in my head and then mentally go up the scale to get F. I imagine real perfect pitch people could just immediately produce the F.
But with middle C I am 100% on at all times (I've tried it about ten times now and it's always right).
So I guess I have semi-perfect pitch!
