I think one thing people are forgetting is how you usually (at least in DnD you do) gain more points in intelligence, wisdom and charisma as well as lose points in strength, dexterity and constitution the older you get.
There are some people here listing both their intelligence AND wisdom in the mid to late teens and mention their recent school / university grades as their reasoning. I know humans gain a very strong foundation of intelligence in their earlier years, but still, come on guys, let's be modest here, think of what you know now and then think of how much more you will know in years to come ...
...
At this rate, the majority of this board will be of a Hawking level of intelligence in just under 10 or so years, crazy!
There is some truth to this. For what is worth, I haven't been in school for about 15 years but that was the last time I took any kind of standardized test that rated me against the comparator populations of people taking that same test. Someone else listed an SAT score that looked like it was out of 1600 (meaning it wasn't recent either), so some people may be citing those even though they aren't in their teens or twenties because it is the only hard data available.
This is an interesting question. I had not considered what my stats would actually be IRL until I saw this. I would have to say: Str-12 Dex-15 Con-10 Int-14 Wis-12 Cha-12
Good, if random question, the key is not making your skills too high nor undercutting yourself either:
STRENGTH - 13 - I know how to throw a punch but prefer not to DEXTERITY - 11 - I wouldnt say i can juggle but i could certeinly dodge CONSTITUITION - 15 - I can go on a 24 hour bender and still get myself to work hurrah! INTELLIGENCE - 10 - By no means a 'genielus' WISDOM - 16 - Ive seen things man O_o CHARISMA - 17 - I could sell snow to an Eskimo!
STR : 6 - Heavy lifting is my Arch nemesis. DEX : 5 - I have drop my laptop several times just trying to write this. CON: 7(8) - I've had my flu-shots. INT : 9 - I wear glasses. WIS : 8 - I can't resist "Buy one get one free" offers. CHA : 4 - people always say I have a "Way" with words.....a terrible way but a way nonetheless.
STR 14 - Weight lifting DEX 16 - Really fast and great coordination. I run/hike up mountains and bike ride. Also, video game skillz. CON 9 - Asthma + allergies INT 15 - College graduate and good at math. Strong psych, sociology, science & tech knowledge. WIS 12 - I have pretty good insight/perception and give others good advice. But I tend not to act on advice that I give to myself.. CHA 8 - Social phobia basically
Hm looks like I'd make a good ranger or thief/mage.
Str: 9 Dex: 9 Con: 12 (all physical stats: spent the first half of my life sick until they figured out I had a sleep disorder and treated it. My workouts are all centered on stamina to enhance my breathing and be able to keep going as well as other people.) Int: 18 (yes, really) Wis: 14 (stubborn, but not necessarily wise) Cha: 13 (generally likable but nothing special)
STR 10 / Average DEX 14 / I'm awesome at darts CON 10 / Don't get sick but not a heavy drinker INT 10 / Average WIS 12 / I give a lot of advice to my friends on just about every topic CHA 16 / I can turn on the charm which has been helpful in a lot of interviews
Str 7 - Would have trouble fighting my way out of a paper bag but I'm trying to work on this. Dex 11 - Being lightweight affords me more mobility but I'm hardly an athlete. Con 9 - Not sickly or anything but I doubt I could take a proper beating. Int 13 - Above average but poor concentration and absent mindedness. Wis 12 - Emotionally intelligent and insightful but also fairly introverted and lacking "real world instincts". Cha 11 - Ok looks (dragged down by being skinny), good conversationalist and emphasis on personal dignity and strength of character which some find compelling but not very sociable (only child), terrified of public speaking, shy, you get the idea.
STR: 15 - me smash puny moskitos DEX: 16 - me smash them pretty quick CON: 13 - splinters don't frighten me INT: 12 - putting my wit into a good use, but lazy enough to don't care WIS: 17 - I know shit... and stuff CHA: 9 - took me a lot of time and effort to find a fiance... besides, "me smash" doesn't look too charming, eh?
It looks like you're literate and you can use computers.. and you may have something to say about BG2 in a conversation.. So your intelligence should be at least 10 or something right?
@Sylvus_Moonbow, you're much too hard on yourself. You know, those tests are self-assessments, and if you're feeling down on yourself when you answer the questions, it will artificially deflate your scores. The way you express your self-esteem issues is very witty and funny, though, so that implies good intelligence and a pretty healthy charisma. I think you're more of a talented person than you're giving yourself credit for.
Personal stats? Str: 12 - I'm stronger than average, weaker than my older brother. Dex: 15 - Dodge everyone, and everything. Con: 11 - Slightly Overweight and healthy Int: 16 - Able to figure things out most people wouldn't even have an idea at. Wis: 8 - No common sense. Cha: 10 - really nice person What class do you guys think I would be?
Str: 12 / I can handle some heavy stuff Dex: 11 / I've never been that good in sports, but I dance well Con: 13 / I don't get sick so often. Int: 13 / Ain't really good with puzzles or logic, but I'm quite creative , which is another kind of inteligence. Wis: 13 / At least I try to question stuff and read about other people's point of view, that probably makes one wiser. Cha: 12 / I usually cause a good first impression. =D
Possibly neutral good
I paint and DJ as hobbies, so I guess I'd be a bard .
A true Neutral person would have no friends and no loyalty to anyone or anything in the real world.
Edit: also no opinion at all
True neutral wouldn't necessarily mean blasé - neutral ones analize what's best for the situation. Normally there's some code of conduct (lawful) or (im)morality involved (good, evil) . Real true neutral ones would be rare.
@DJKajuru and @ST4TICStriker: True neutrality is, I think a form of enlightened self-interest, one that realizes that altruism is very often in one's own self-interest. A true neutral person never joins a cause just to join a cause. That person may join a cause, or not, according to what he or she believes will best benefit his or her own family, friends, country, or philosophy. Law/Chaos, and Good/Evil, are seen as distracting abstractions which make the true neutral person roll her eyes. She doesn't care about any of that.
She seeks an end to suffering through balance and enlightenment. Every good Buddhist in real life aspires to be true neutral, because Buddhism sees neutral balance as the end to suffering. One must learn the path to the end of suffering for oneself before one can help anyone else end their suffering. Buddhism calls the one who is enlightened and yet remains in the world trying to ease suffering in general the "Boddhisatva". Detachment from desire is the key to all, as expressed in the "Noble Truths".
True neutrality is a difficult ideal to achieve, once one believes in it. I myself aspire to it in real life, and yet, I am often swayed by Samsara to follow my biological, psychological impulses toward law and order, and my "goodness" that makes me care about others to my own detriment, or my "evil" that makes me be selfish and to take pleasure in being more powerful and in control. Thus, I tend to be in constant drift just like everybody else who is still at the mercy of Samsara.
I do believe that the Buddha would have been a true neutral druid. Str 8, Dex 8, Con 8, Wis 18, Int 10, Cha 18.
@DJKajuru, I often also think that my real life embrace of music, lore, and philosophy means that I should be a bard, but really, those same interests fit very well with being a cleric or a wizard. One doesn't have to go bard just to incorporate those particular real life interests into one's D&D self-projection. Sometimes, when I *do* choose to play a bard, I pretend that I am actually a godchild (hello, "save-reload", the ultimate divine power - don't you wish you had that power irl?), who pretends to be a "spoony, inefffective bard" in order to walk among humanity and try to understand it better. And, if one of these dream big-bads actually starts to "kill" my friends and me, I cast "God-Spell Save-Reload".

Edit: also no opinion at all
Not true. A true neutral person values balance and moderation. Having no opinion and no friends is neither balance nor moderation, it's stagnation. If you want an idea of what one form of true neutral can look like, study Taoism.
@NightfallRob, ah, in my youth, I used to love to collect representations of the Taoist Yin/Yang symbol. I still have a little teacup that my mother once gave me that has the symbol on it, and I used to collect other representations, although I've lost most of them, as I've moved on.
Still, for lots of people at a certain stage, there is much wisdom to be gained by studying that symbol. It is the perfect symbolic representation of balance.
My, I do believe we're getting off-topic. This thread is supposed to be about people posting their self-assessments of their real-life stats.
@Belgarathmth, Being true Neutral by the AD&D standards would been you try to keep the Cosmic Balance.
Do equal amounts of good and evil for example save a town from goblins but then lead an Army to destroy it, the town could not defend itself from the Goblins but your intervention changed that and thus upset the balance.
I do not believe any socially adjusted (Non-Insane) person would act like that.

Indeed! In fact ,I think your class in real life would actually reflect how you try to solve your own problems. Would it be through logic? Creativity? Faith?
@belgarathmth , since in BG1 social skills don't count much, I've always thought of in-game bards to be people who couldn't really make it as adventurers , but eventually got to learn magic and fighting skills from their companions. So a bard who tags along Xzar and Montaron would end being a sneaky guy, with some knowledge in the dark arts, I suppose. This feeling of learning from other classes is something that makes bards all special.
If not a bard, I would most likely be a sorcerer or some other class that is developed through creativity and intuition.
