Well, I have a number that my mother gave me as well as other things she tells me about the results. You know, it's very hard to swallow what she tells me, because I simply do not feel 'that smart'. I know I'm a smart person, and I identify with being gifted.. I don't doubt that part. But per the score that she's told me (granted, I don't even know what test it was, but it would have been in the late 80s or right around 1990 I believe?) I feel like I should be something really special or I should be doing something extraordinary with my life.

So... does knowing my supposed score change my impostor syndrome problems? Not at all. In fact, I think it makes it worse. That's why I don't really care to share it with people because I'm afraid they'd laugh at me.
