+3 WIS due to stat tomes; +1 DEX due to Kiel's Buckler (highlighted in red). And since there's no Druid/Mage multiclass, Avenger is the closest thing to it.
These were my results when BGEE first released so that str/dex score might not be so accurate now as I haven't trained in months. It was an interesting playthrough with realistic stats. More challenging in some ways, but easier in other.
Wow! This test loved me, and actually landed much closer to where I would want to be than the other test.
This test's results:
STR 13 DEX 16 CON 15 INT 15 WIS 18 CHA 17
Neutral Good Human Sorcerer
Yeah, so I wound up with 94 points, damn-near powergaming stats, a great class, and the ability to Wish for whatever I want. I'll take it. And it's probably the best alignment for me, which is a bonus.
I like the class breakdown. Apparently, I'm EXTREMELY anti-paladin and anti-monk, despite still being a Neutral Good person. And I'm only -4 for Ranger, despite my first instinct when discussing animals being to call them "delicious".
I'm actually currently playing a character that's quite close to this. I may EEkeeper him to exactly these stats and then roleplay myself exactly (which I've done before, but based off of a different test).

On that test (which this makes the 4th time I've taken it, and the first time I didn't get a wizard of some sort, although I'd prolly invest a few levels anyway with my int.)
As I said, with that kind of scores, I'd prolly at least invest a little into Wizard. Which is fine I think a Paladin of Mystra (or Bahamut) is more likely for me than Torm, Tyr or Helm. Shame a greatsword would be such a waste with 12 str.
Other interesting changes this time compared to the last few:
1. Normally LG and NG for me are almost tied. For the first time I am LG (28), CG (26), NG (24) 2. As I said, normally I'm a Wizard of some sort; Wizard, Ranger, Sorcerer and Monk are all tied at 2 3. In an odd turn, race wise I go Human (13), Half-Orc (12), Elf/Half-Elf (10) then halfling (8), dwarf (6), gnome (2) 4. As usual I end up with no points into evil at all. I'm just not good at being bad when push comes to shove. I can be an a-hole sure, but not really evil (more sarcastic).
For sure any of the stats you get from these tests are estimates. You are only asked roughly 20 questions to assess any of the stats, and some stats have even less questions. A proper IQ test alone takes 100-200 questions on various different topics and aspects of intelligence. The chance that you get a stat distribution unlike you expected is quite high
I always want to make a poll to show what people thought their stats roll was, and a poll after a good quiz to show what they actually are, but you'd have to make a poll for each stat, and that would be 12 discussions at least, so I didn't think it feasible.
Hmmmmm.... True neutral. Wizard/cleric. I never liked this test. The scores are exaggerated, and it's entirely opinion based. I try not to be bias or rash, but that doesn't mean I'm neutral. Neutral means you try to maintain balance, not that you try to be unbiased.

Yeah, some of these stats show how biased self-reported scores can be. I think the strength scores from the Angelfire test are reasonable. Most of us are around 10, as it should be. The others, well... not that I don't love you guys, but I don't think are any Olympic athletes or geniuses here.
Tried the other, more generous test: Neutral Good Human Sorceror (5th Level) Str 14 Dex 14 Con 14 Int 16 Wis 15 Cha 16 Total 89 Seems off base to me, and obviously way too high in several ability scores.
However, such things are not to be taken seriously--it is an online test with no certifiable credibility whatsoever. That being said, though, those aren't bad stats for a mage/cleric; ironically, that was the class of my first character in BG and, subsequently, BG2. Interestingly, I scored a little higher on charisma than I would have thought. *shrug*
Looks like it's time to find me some tomes, I suppose. Since I am, unless I can bribe someone for a controlled reincarnation, human, I'd be stuck dual classing, so I'm thinking Cleric 16 -> Mage 29.
And yes, I loathed the Charisma questions, both answers on some of the questions were signs of high Charisma.
Since according to the WotC alignment test I'm Neutral Good, I daresay I'm stuck with Lathander.
@Schneidend, a lot of people, including me, like to do self-inserts into games with our characters. Taking silly psychological profile tests to confirm your self-belief about what powers you'd be given in a game universe is just fun. You do know about having fun, right?
I think the authors of the tests deliberately write them to give self-affirmation to the subject. All in the name of good cheer and good fun.
@belgarathmth But, in real life I haven't trained all my life to kill people with swords and wear armor. In a fantasy setting, I would totally do that.
@Schneidend, fair enough, but we all fantasize about being given special powers that fit our natures. In real life, the people who are trained to fight with weapons are our military and police, martial arts experts, and also, a lot of the skills practiced in various athletics and sports would be easily converted into military use, especially the aggression that competitive sports foster and encourage.
So, I see the real life melee fighters as what we would often call "jocks" when they are sportsmen or mercenaries. Real-life soldiers, policemen, and firemen, I would call "heroes". The best of them might even be real-life paladins and cavaliers.
Doctors and clergy are our "clerics", environmentalists and outdoorsmen are our "druids" and "rangers", and scientists, engineers, and technicians are our "mages".
Our liberal and fine arts people are our "bards", and our hackers, robbers, poachers, or, on the good side, our spies, informants, and whistle-blowers are our "thieves."
There are a disproportionate number of "bards" who love to play computer games and who frequent the forums, loving to take tests and make threads like these, sharing their love of being the heroes of their own epic stories.
This thread is for people who get so immersed in D&D games that they really like to imagine it's *them* in these games, being given special powers.
I know that many players want to use the game as a chance to be something that they're *not* in real life, at all. This isn't really a thread for those players.
Both things can be fun - imagining oneself as something totally different from oneself in a fantastic world, including a total body type and aptitude change, or a total personality change, or even a gender change. Or, in a universe where abilities are granted to every transportee according to his or her natural aptitudes, imagining "What powers would *I* have, and what would I do with them?"
This thread and the various D&D attribute and alignment psychological profile tests are for the people who really get immersed in D&D games only through inserting some version of ourselves, which maximizes our fun with the genre.
The other camp, of people who play games only to completely get out of themselves, so to speak, and act out a role that is completely different to what they are in real life, may have trouble understanding why people like me and others here have so much fun inserting our real selves into these games, and even go to the trouble to write and take elaborate psychological tests to intensify our interest in ourselves as heroic subjects.
@belgarathmth I do like to self-insert. Before EE my CHARNAMES were basically me. Of course, I don't have an 18 Strength, but then I'm not a Berserker wielding a two-handed sword, so I made my stats appropriate to how I would be if I actually lived in Forgotten Realms, or at least how I would try to be.
It's not really a self-insert to be a berserker unless you have a history of losing your temper, or deliberately going into a rage, or you have a mental illness that can cause a berserk state.
(I could do it completely realistically for a self-insert if I wanted to encourage that part of myself - I struggle with a life-long mental illness that has in fact caused berserk states, in my past. But I usually choose to just let that be represented in BG by the Slayer form, which I ruthlessly repress in real life. In my youth, while working out and running daily, my strength has gone up to the point that, while berserk, (or barbarian raged), I could snap canvas restraints effortlessly, and knock down several huge male paramedics and police officers, terrifying everyone who witnessed it, including my poor family. I am not proud to admit that.)
13(yeah, it might sound strange, but I am not so skinny)/16/15/17(18/16)/15(too much about common sense)/7
And in http://easydamus.com/character.html Strength- 14 Dexterity- 19 Constitution- 17 Intelligence- 19 Wisdom- 18 Charisma- 13 (WTF! I can't even get someone to not to hate me, really). CN, Wizard, sorcerer by second, -21 in monk :P, altrough very near CE (by one point) and Law & Chaos was like Law (5) Chaos (20), no neutrality, human, only by 4 points woth Dwarf and Half Elf. It gave me lvl1 since I am 14.

According to another more generous test, I have the following stats, which I have incidentally played through BG1EE to the end without dying:
+3 WIS due to stat tomes; +1 DEX due to Kiel's Buckler (highlighted in red). And since there's no Druid/Mage multiclass, Avenger is the closest thing to it.

This discussion is inspiring me to want to try to play my semi-self-insert, but mostly just an exercise in playing someone completely different from me, Todek the Barbarian, again, in BG2:EE. For his original run, if you're interested, it starts in this thread, about halfway down the page:
