Maybe my math was off? I thought 13 would be roughly ~90% of 15. So adult Alice would have IQ 15 and DX 15... DX 15, sure, but conceptually I'd cap adult Alice's IQ at 13. Young Alice is just a exceptional little girl. She'd have to be to get through Dungeonland in one piece.
Remember that D&D stats were rolled on a 3d6 back when Dungeonland was written meaning there was only a 4.6% chance of having a 15 in any one stat.

Don't get too hung up on attributes as certain talents can provide bonuses,
