The instant the impressive number left my lips, the eyes of those present glistened; it had to be said that the technical peak of IQ score was 200, so for me to state that mine was 223 was akin to saying I'm a world record holder, and there were VERY, VERY few people who could say the same thing.
Now, did I actually have such an IQ score? Fuck if I know; I've never even taken an IQ test in either of my lives, but knowing that the score was all the rage in the 90s and that it would add some plausibility to my maturity for my age, I figured it would work as a good reason for me being so smart.
Cocky overconfidence aside, I've never thought myself to be a genius or anything of the sort. To be honest, most of the reason I could even be considered smart is because of the combination of Adhd and Autism compounding with my perfect memory.
