No kidding.
I exited, with prejudice. And to that note (pun intended) I also think that this test isn't testing perfect pitch, nor relative pitch. It's a short term memory test. And mine is horrible, especially when the notes are a-tonal and seemingly random.
I have decent relative pitch. But I can't just pick out a note and tell you what it is. Not really anyway. What I CAN do, is imagine a song I know well, like "Hotel California" and imagine the color of the top b in the first chord and then derive whatever note I hear based on the interval from that note. It's weird. But that's pretty much the only I can do it.
Like, as I was typing this, I was hearing the bass line to "Ain't No Sunshine" in my head. A---E-G-A-------. I can "hear" those notes, but only if they're in context with the song. Maybe I just never worked on it. Weird. I also hear them in the octaves of the guitar much easier, since that's my instrument.
