when I play a note in the piano(without looking), I know ,95% of the time, which note it is. But it's weird, 'cause when I hear a note in an another intrument(like flute or clarinet) I can't tell what note it is. Is that perfect pitch?????????????

Remember, the same letter name on clarinet and piano will not sound the same tone. The clarinet will be a whole step lower. (Flute IS the same as the piano.)
Search "perfect pitch" on this board, there has been much interesting material written about it.
Search "transposing" to learn more about which instruments are pitched in which key.

One of the Los Angeles newspapers had a story recently about a perfect pitch study now being conducted by the University of California at San Francisco. The study's website offers a test to determine if you have perfect pitch, plus information on participation in the study. See: http://perfectpitch.ucsf.edu/ppstudy.html

If you can recognize the notes on the piano, thats great! That, by the way is concert pitch. However it gets a little deeper when you play along with someone else as you have to listen to yourself and others, then adjust your pitch slightly sometimes to match theirs as no wind instrument plays every note in perfect tuning. You can spend 30 minutes tuning the clarinet section say in a middle school band, but when they start to play, you can hear many are out of tune when they encounter notes other than what they tuned up in. Sometimes it can be worse than than the "finger nails on the blackboard" thing.

This test is great - it will, certainly, sort out those who are in doubt or not.

I don't have it. Not even close. My wife's pretty good, however.

A musical note is a sound regardless of what is producing it. If find it a little odd that you only "got" the piano sounds yet if any other instrument were to play then you're stumped? The test was neither difficult or easy - if you have perfect pitch then you would have scorred 100% in all its sections easy, if not ... difficult.
