We'd better keep that quiet in case certain psychologists (not to be named) start believing <em>they</em> do in fact have said mythical super abilities... but yes it seems you're either up against cliched stereotypes or a complete lack of understanding when it comes to talking about work.

They often follow up by asking if I have a couch in my office. The more I explain, the more I have to deal with couch placements and my non-existent super power. I find that an elevator statement that does not explain what I do works best. Then we both move on. I will take that drink, John. Majority of people I meet don’t understand my work too.
