There is a word for the opposite of that (perfect relative pitch), so you're probably in the majority here.

Not so sure about that... here, example:

I can't tell if the first or third chime is higher pitched. I can tell it goes up and down but even separated by two seconds I can't leap over the middle one. At least compared to several of my friends from college onwards, this seems unusual.

If you can, try testing your ability to determine whether the chimes are being played in the normal order or backwards.
