IQ and DX aren't real. They don't describe anything that real humans possess.
They're FAR too expansive of traits.
IQ is literally everything mental that isn't coordination based. No one is awesome at everything like that. Some may be better than norm in EVERYTHING, but no one is awesome at it.
Similar issue with DX.

That means, in my opinion, that those stats of even 14, let alone, 18 are patently not possible for anything remotely human.
