Most people who claim to have perfect pitch actually have relative pitch. It's difficult to tell. Most violinists for instance have 440 "A" drilled into their heads so much from tuning that they hear it. From there you just have to do the "math." Guitarists have those "E"'s drilled into them. Pianists have middle "C". Etc.
I am one of the people who say that perfect pitch cannot be developed. You either have it or you don't. If you don't have it you can be taught relative pitch though. Perfect pitch is very rare. A person with perfect pitch <i>never</i> gets it wrong. Ever.
