Well in my experience, you are a nearly unique individual.

All bar one of my players (or perhaps two if the new player is competent)
play their character like an omniscient genius with the ability to see and
react perfectly to things the character is completely unaware of.

Perhaps the issue lies not so much with the intelligence stat as with some
much needed acting lessons for the players... but this is beside the point I
suppose...
