Abstract: It is proved that a probability measure defined on a countably generated measurable space $\left( {Y,\mathcal{C}} \right)$ is perfect iff every probability measure on ${\mathbf{R}} \times Y$ having as marginal can be factored. This result leads to a generalization of a theorem due to Blackwell and Maitra.
