6- Strength (I strength train in martial arts but dont body build or power lift. The bigger guys at BJJ have a power advantage but they also look like they were built by skynet)
4- Perception (I don't wear my glasses often enough but I'm attentive when things are happening in the same room)
7- Endurance (MMA training and running FTW. I have good cardio and am hit often enough to know I'm not made from glass)
7- Charisma (I work a room well, give great presentations, am in good shape and am fairly attractive)
7- Intelligence (Professional job and I get told I'm smart a lot)
7- Agility (I am fast, flexible and have good reflexes, a good reach doesn't hurt either)
5- Luck (I make my own luck)

Surely everyone scoring 9s should be in the top of their field? Shouldn't 9 int make you equal to House or Doogie Howser?

I'm very tall and skinny, but somehow I'm still pretty agile. Most other facts derive from that.

4 STR : meh, could be better, could be worse

7 PER : I really am pretty good at seeing/hearing things usually unnoticed by others

5 END : pretty avarage, can run for a decent amount of time and carry my shit around, like most avarage people

3 CHA : I have pretty serious issues when it comes to social interaction (and depression and the occasional "holy shit, that thing wasn't even there", which do not help at all)

5 INT : can think for myself and figure shit out, but I highly doubt it is anything above avarage

4 AGI : fast reflexes, bad coordination

3 LUCK : yeah, I'm pretty unlucky

Holy shit, I don't seem to have that illusory superiority thing some guy posted above. But I do seem think I'm shit. Which is not necessarily inaccurate just because it is negative.

If it was truly SPECIAL, then the skills count should be a maximum of 40.
e.g:
S - 6
P - 8
E - 5
C - 2
I - 2
A - 8
L - 9

But since there isn't a limit, here is my SPECIAL:

S - 10
P - 10
E - 10
C - 10
I - 10
A - 10
L - 10

i think you should've put more limitations besides cannot go above 10 or below 1... but i digress.
Games might impose those limits for balancing issues. But life is unfair, as we all know it. Thus the only limits are the laws of physics or until someone breaks those laws and sets a new limit.

I'll just link this here, Illusory Superiority [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illusory_superiority] also known as the above average effect. Okay you may all carry on posting stats.
That is true, but it also depends on which rating you use to rate yourself and others. I prefer to use the rule of the majority index. The majority is the standard and everything above or below is a deviation.

If I would take, for example, endurance (8); I could say I can outrun 80% of the people... probably.

La derp da derpy derp. I count my strength pre-injury, as I'm at about 40-50% of what I usually can lift (I can bench-press 60kg - about 120 pounds give or take... or at least I could few months ago). I'm fairly keen, despite eye-sight flaws (minor ones, I usually wear contact lenses though), and I often see small details of all things. However my asthma gives me terrible condition - average, even for my physical strength. I'm also NOT charismatic, not at all, heck no. I'm intelligent, especially when it comes to stuff like math or physics - at least 4 or 5 adults have told me that I should study some science-related subject after high school. I'm fairly agile as well, thanks to few years of martial arts and so on.

I'm not even going to comment on my luck. Let's say you wouldn't want to stand next to me on a stormy day.

Doesn't giving yourself 9 intelligence make you one of the smartest people in the world?
No. I treat those scores for someone MY AGE. I'm probably one of the most intelligent people in my age group - not boasting, I'm fresh after an IQ test done in the middle of May - probably the worst month possible for me to take any serious tests or exams due to allergy and hay fever. I am also the second strongest person in my class. I don't treat those points as a "how you rate yourself compared to your future self". It might mean my Strength might drop, or I'll no longer be as smart as I used to be (hell, my IQ probably fell a lot since I was a child - I used to have almost 140 IQ, fell to a bit over 120-125 over 6-8 years).

Though to even it out - I did say my endurance is below average. You can probably easily beat me in a sprint or marathon. Hell, my dog can give me a hard time when running. And it's a rottweiler - slow, but powerful race that is not meant to run fast.

Hmm....

3 - Strength
5 - Perception
6 - Endurance
9 - Charisma
8 - Intelligence
8 - Agility
7 - Luck

Physically I'm not very strong. Nor do I have the best stamina or endurance. I mean its okay but not great. I tend to have poor sensory perception and just miss things in general unless I'm really paying attention. On the other hand my Charisma I think is quite high. At least thats what people tell me (in fact I just one an award at my school called the "Friendship Award" which most people believe is the award for the person with the most sway over teachers). I'm also quite smart, fast and dextrous (so agile) and quite lucky. Surprisingly lucky in fact.
