What are your IRL stats!?

If you were in Baldur's Gate, what would your six stats really be?
I used to put my real rankings in NBA Live when adding myself to a team. Since I was a true Center, my ball handling skills were 20ish, for example. And even though I was a bench warmer on a decent Division 1 College team, my best stat was around a 50, for an NBA player. It was very fun, most of the time.
Keep in mind 10 is average, 18 STR is World's Strongest Man competitor, 18 INT is Stephen Hawking, 18 Constitution is a Navy SEAL or UFC champion, etc.
STR 13
DEX 9
CON 13
INT 15
WIS 10
CHA 8
I might even take this char on a playthrough!

Dex 10
Con 14
Int 16
Wis 15

Something like that, give or take. Although no doubt we're all going to be from Lake Woebegone, where all the women are strong, all the men are good looking, and all the children are above average.
DEX: 40
CON: 40
INT: 40
WIS: 40
CHA: 40
...Well, for that fight with Irenicus in SoA, at least. Goddamn thing took me forever until I finally discovered Shadowkeeper.
Normally, more like:
STR: 10
DEX: 11
CON: 13
INT: 14/18
WIS: 12
CHA: 14/18
...Or something like that. Basically, I max out INT or CHA depending on whether I'm going for Wizard or Sorcerer, make sure I have 14 in CON and don't really care much about the rest.
Strength: 8
Dexterity: 10
Constitution: 4
Intelligence: 16
Wisdom: 14
Charisma: 2
Strength - 11 - protein bars
Dexterity - 13 - I'm good with a pencil
Constitution - 9 - asthmatic
Intelligence - 11 - graduated from art school
Wisdom - 12 - it's been a hard knock life
Charisma - 13 - need I explain?
Dex: 14
Con: 10
Int: 14
Wis: 12
Cha:13
I'd say I would make a good thief. Wouldn't last in combat by any means, but most locks wouldn't be a challenge. Most people say I'm pretty smart and wise and have good common sense. I can talk & get along with mostly everyone as well. I can't tolerate a lot of pain and can't lift heavy objects but I'm very nimble. I used to be able to run a 6min mile back in high school. Now it'd be about 10mins with 4 years out of school. I'd make a good role-playing character, not so much a combat character.
Str 15 - I'm 6'2 and 240lbs.
Dex 8 - Not very coordinated, I can't even ride a bike...
Con 13 - I don't often get sick but when I do it was something real bad.
Int 13 - I'm smarter than the average bear, Boo Boo.
Wis 15 - I'm perceptive and very street smart.
Cha 10 - I'm a pretty good looking guy, or so I'm told, but I can be passive/shy a lot of the time.
With stats like those I'd be a decent cleric or maybe a ranger I guess. Funny that I'm an atheist but I'd make a good cleric :P
Dex 10 (Average hand eye coordination (thank you video games!))
Con 16 (I'm fairly healthy in my eating habits)
Int 10 (I went to school... sometimes)
Wis 15 (I make a lot of mistakes, but learn from them)
Cha 10 (I don't like people lol)
I'm the party member you throw at the bears and steal her stuff afterwards
Playing real games against future NBA guys helped us put your own skills into perspective!
Dexterity - 12 - A bit above average. I'm excellent at typing, good with guns and other such things, but you don't see me doing backflips.
Constitution - 12 - Honestly I have no idea here. My health varies. It's pretty good right now but I'm young, so.
Intelligence - 14 - I'm pretty intelligent. The rest of my family would be in the 15-16 range however, haha.
Wisdom - 16 - Here's my strong point. Very observant, lots of people come to me for advice etc. and I am able to provide good answers 90% of the time.
Charisma - 15 - Most everyone in real life thinks I'm a pretty enjoyable, fun guy to be around. My personal features are not amazing (too skinny! also acne) but far, far from bad.
Example, some claim to have Int about 16 in spite the fact that 10 is average, and 18 is Stephen Hawking. Are you people working for NASA, are considered of genious or anything like that? Or maybe you think that you're not far from Hawking himself? I highly doubt that. Same with constitution. 16 because of healthy eating habits? If so, then, i'm 18 myself because I practicaly never get ill - but when I consider the fact that I'm dead after short sprint, I would gave myself 8 at most.
10 is average person. I don't believe that we all are better than average. Where's humility and critical estimation? Gone for a holiday?
So in some situations I'm a 16 WIS, others a 4
That said, I personally *did* base my stats on the concept that I believe people "at the extreme end of the bell curve" are more around 20-22 rather than 18.
Yes, many people will exaggerate.
I can bench almost 300lbs but I think my STR belongs at 13, whereas someone else might put a 13 and is much weaker.
I think I'm being fair to myself though.
But maybe my hubris is that I think I'm a better self-judge than the rest of you
I'm saying 18 is the ceiling just to simplify the ratings.
Otherwise, is Hawking a 21,22 or 23?
While we're at it, wouldn't Bas have made a great Minsc if BG were ever made into a film? (See here.) But I digress, lol.
Too bad there is no proficiency for him in knees...
Dex: 12 / Average agility, but my hand eye coordination raises this somewhat
Con: 10 / I don't get colds very often, but I don't think I'm exceptionally tough.
Int: 13 / I'm basing this off of how stupid the average person seems. lol
Wis: 15 / This has gone up quite a bit in recent years. Wisdom has a tendency to come with experience.
Cha: 15 / I'm comfortable with public speaking and get along with almost everyone.
