I have a friend that is considered incredibly intelligent. When he attended kindergarten he realised he was different from the other children and so deduced he must be an alien. Fortunately his hypothesis was just a phase.

This strikes home, though I'm pretty much "only" upper normal (110-120 - several results in that range; never tested as a kid), but I had this fantasy from like 2nd grade until 5th or 6th grade. I probably annoyed my parents to no end.

Funny. I look around and think this about myself about 3 times a month.
