Morgan Guillory (Kaitlin Olson) in a pink coat, holding a lollipop in 'High Potential.'
Morgan Gillory might not be a cop, but she's darn good at solving crimes in ABC's new drama High Potential. The single mother of three is working as a night cleaner at a police station when she happens to glance at some crime scene photos. She notices some discrepancies in a case having to do with a man who was murdered in his home. The police claim the wife did it and is on the run, but Morgan realizes that the woman is actually another victim, not the suspect.
The 'High Potential' Diagnosis Is a Real Condition Morgan's condition is not just a plot device for television but is actually a real-life diagnosis. The term is generally used to describe people with an above-average intellectual ability . Morgan lists her IQ at 160 , while most people fall somewhere within average intelligence with an IQ score between 85 and 114. That means that people who have HIP are generally in the top 2.
People with HIP or HEP don't need to receive a specific diagnosis or treatment of any kind, but many are labeled with these conditions in childhood when it becomes obvious that their brain works a little differently than their peers. Young children with HIP are often bored in traditional school because they're not being challenged enough. Those with an HIP diagnosis can flourish in a number of different careers .
There will definitely be fictional aspects to Morgan's condition, but incorporating the real diagnosis of HIP as part of the show makes the plot even more intriguing. The series is also likely to bring more awareness to this type of neurodivergence, which is always a positive thing in the world of television. Morgan doesn't feel confident yet that her brain is something to be cherished, but her work on future cases will likely help her discover how impressive she truly is.
