Usually, perfect pitch describes the ability to know what a note is, but there are savants out there that have much closer abilities. I don't know how they do it, but they do. (I've measured with the SAT and sure enough, they know when it gets farther off than this). Oddly enough, the change of temperament doens't seem to bother them.
