I've never personally met anyone who knew what to think of my own number. My SAT score, yes, but IQ numbers are not quite mainstream enough that anyone seems to know or care beyond that I passed some cutoff.

It's actually useful to me, because as an adult I found Hoagies' and learned about LOG and it explains a lot about how convoluted my interactions with non-HG+ folks are.

My overt abilities, on the other hand, turned me into a 'problem to be dealt with' to every educator I met until college. Gah. So glad to be past that. I have abilities, they don't have me.
