[spoiler]Subject: Kudo Shinichi
Prognosis: Identity crisis (no shit, Sherlock)
Subject is an Asian teen male, age 17 (physically 7 at present). Most striking personality feature is the immensely high IQ and highly logical mindset. Definitely a very left-brained individual- logical, mathematical, most comfortable with set facts and controlled variables. IQ is likely 180+, definitely somewhere in genius territory. While he’s fond of soccer, it’s likely that he could quickly master any sport he turns his hand (or foot) to, particularly structured or team sports with set rules and regulations. He likes to keep himself in shape, even more so as Conan since he clearly resents the physical barriers brought on by his reduced size.
Social relationships, on the other hand, are an entirely different matter. His high IQ sets him apart from his peers and even most adults; as an adult, this led to an ego problem, primarily that it was so inflated that you could rent it out for children’s parties (as long as they took their shoes off first). Shrinking must have been a terrible blow to that, not only because of the huge physical limitations it brought (this tends to be a bigger deal for males who, no matter how intellectual, are still inclined to compete physically, only made worse by the fact that he was clearly a shrimp for his age; not only is he smaller than a 17-year-old, he’s smaller than most 7-year-olds) but because while once everyone listened to him and praised him before, people don’t take kids seriously. He’s not listened to and generally brushed off or downright ignored, even though he’s right. He’s probably unused to being out of the spotlight, and the adults around him will seem condescending, stupid or slow (likely all three in Kogoro’s case). This makes it a little difficult for him to happily deal with adults, and dealing with actual kids is even harder due to the vast difference in mental level.
His acting skills are what’s saving him; as was seen at the school play and in his ability to deceive everyone into believing that he’s “Conanâ€
