Well looking at Xens post here made me think. I mean this has been obviously posted before.. I recall that a long time ago. But now I want to make a new one.

what are you real life stats in life?

as i recall 9 is the average.. and 12 is above average already.

STR: 12
DEX: 11
CON: 12
INT: 12
WIS: 7
CHR: 11

note: where do you put stamina? im faily week at that but im hardy.. so i placed con at 12 but stamina if ever im only like 8.

Int 14-15, but this is under question. there are weeks when i have int of 7.
str- 10
constitution 9
wis 9
char 10
dex 8.

WARNING, I use 3rd edition numbers

STR 8 I'm one weak mothafokka
DEX 9 Not too agile either
CON 13 I have a good time resisting deseases
INT 16/17 Here's where I get going, I can learn and reason VERY well
WIS 15/16 Once did some test, and I tend to understand situations and predicaments
CHA 13 I look reasonably well and can be very diplomatic at times :D

So overall I have a strong mind but I'm rather weak.

Why do I seriously doubt the accuracy of these stats?

Me:

STR 7
DEX 5
CON 2
INT 1
WIS 4
CHA -2 (I'm really an Xvart!!)

yeah, thats about right.....

Because people tend to become very suspicious when whoever says they are smart. Whether it is true or not, people cannot stand that(unrightfully).

you do realize that an intelligence of 17 is an exeptionally high intelligence(Einstein would probably had had an intelligence score of 18-20), meaning you most likely have(had, if done with school) a "straight A's report card".

anyway:

Str: 11
Dex: 8
Con: 13
Int: 12
Wis: 14
Cha: 7

Str-15 I work out regularly and would have to carry around 130lbs in the army
dex-6 probably should be lower I have sloth like reflexs
con-12 I am hardly ever sick
int-16 I scored high enough to join mensa
wis-12
cha-15 According to HOTORNOT I am a 9

More than likely, the suspicion arises because there is no way of verifying statements made from an ambiguous source such as a poster on the Internet. As such, people use the only information the medium provides in being able to discern fact from fiction. In this case, grammar, spelling, and vocabulary are really the only defining characteristics one is able to use in order to facilitate their judgment.

That is the biggest reason that threads such as this usually succumb to eventual flaming of the people posting within the thread. People often fail to realize that the poster may have a different native language, or even more simply, the poster does not express well in writing the true intelligence he or she possesses.

Then of course you have the different mediums for testing intelligence. As brought up previously by a poster, Einstein more than likely would have had an intelligence score in the 18-20 range. However, it was also stated that a person with this score would have (most likely) received all A’s in school curriculums. This is not necessarily the case as even in Einstein’s case he failed mathematics repeatedly. Between SAT’s, ACT’s, ASVAB, and the multitude of other intelligence tests, you could probably get somewhere close to a measurable intelligence score, but only if you took the time to take every test and devised a way to find the mean between scores.

Anyways, enough babbling on my part, here is what I would estimate my scores would look like.

Str-12 (I swim daily and enjoy a pretty active lifestyle.)

Dex-8 (I have decent balance, bet getting me to bend is like forcing a brick wall.)

Con-9 (Sometimes I get sick, sometimes I don’t.)

Int-16 (Between a lot of school, including PhD studies, and multiple high scores on aptitude tests I feel this is correct.)

Wis-14 (Partially due to age and life experience. After all, even in AD&D this goes up with age.)

Cha-10 (I’m an average person, nothing special here.)

I am too lazy to actually learn my stuff for most subjects, but when I do, I will not have to learn a long time, especially when I compare it to my classmates, it seems a WAY too short time. Also, I have absolutely NO problem with maths, chermistry and physics, while I hardly practice or learn them, and I follow the highest possible level of high-school education in my country. (I'm 17, I don't know exactly what type of school I would be in in other country's :( , but I will go to university next year, if that means anything to you). So there is my explanation. I would make straight A's easily if I found the motivation of actually doing anything, which I don't. (well, my physics still does have an A, with ease...)

Str - 8 I am a weakling, but I am not disabled in any way.

Dex - 7 I am very clumsy and my reactions are slow.

Con - 15 Though I might be a bit sqeamish at times I tend to heal injuries quite well.

Int - 17 I have an active and creative if somewhat bungled mind.

Wis - 6 I neither possess willpower nor common sense and I tend to be somewhat unaware of my surroundings.

Cha - 15 Though not the great socialiser people tend to like me and forgive my quirks. I am quite good at striking the impression that i know more than I do.


Weirldy enough INT, CON and CHA are the attributes I tend to prioritize when I create D&D characters.
