I'm hyper-sensitive, meaning that I react much more heavely to outside stimuly. I am also a pretty good liar. I have an IQ above 140. I'm hyper-mobile (literal translation), wich means that I can bend much further then normal people. And I'm also a lucky bastards since I was born in a great family that has helped me learn to deal with my deficiencies.

Ps. Please excuse my poor English, I am not a native speaker.

(I've been told by my teacher that I'm among the top 6% percent of students in my year. (I'm still at secondary school. Note that it's a grammar school, so I can't be particularly stupid. Sorry for being snobby)

Ooh, umm... Let's see.

6, maybe 7 - Intelligence
8 - Agility
6 - Luck

I like to work out, which helps my strength and endurance (definitely my strength more than my endurance, though, due to how I've structured my sessions).
I've always been pretty perceptive (the flying lessons also help when you have to train yourself to look for other aircraft).
I'm average in terms of charisma, i.e. I can keep a conversation going if the other person is willing to talk too, otherwise I struggle.
I have above average intelligence (in tests, IQ and otherwise), but nothing exceptional.
Recently stopped, but I had played Soccer for 12 years, which certainly helped my agility (I'll still kick around a ball/play a game or 2 with friends if I have the chance).
And I've always been pretty lucky, but mostly it's been balanced out with bad luck in other things. So, only just above average in luck, too.

S-6, i am quite a big lad, but i am strong and can handle heavy weights easily
P-5, im perceptive in the reading people way, but need glasses due to short-sighted (thou not too bad)
E-5, was tempted to put six or seven, but been getting tired lately so just though id put it at average,
C-7, everyone seems to love me, honestly dont know why, it really embarrasses me when people tell me how much they like me
I-6, i think i am quite smart, however alot of the knowledge i have is specialised so i dont think i should put this higher
A-5, just average in this
L-5, same again, hardly see myself has unlucky.

i reckon there should be a skill thread of what people think there skill points would look like, including what their tag skills would be

Good at packing, bad at looking where I step and accustomed to falling down and getting back up. Loner, with the intelligence of a, "bovine" ("spoken with a long drawl") and agility to match. Luckily god watches out for fools, when not making fools out of them.

Where the frig did all my left over stat points go?!

 

[BoogieManFL]

If 5 INT is considered average an 8, 9, or 10 would be high level genius. We really have that many here eh?

 

[A Shadows Age]

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.

No I think 5 means average... you did post this all by yourself right? Buddy?

It would be a ****ed up scale if 8 9 and 10 were reserved for the top 1% of the population, but if that's how it works feel free to bump that down to a 7, I'm a very average genius.

 

[aaaaaDisregard]

Strength - 6
Perception - 3
Endurance - 6
Charisma - 4
Intelligence- 6
Agility - 5
Luck - 5

It's interesting how people grade themselves in those SPECIAL threads and always forget that 5 really is average (unlike typical game review scale from 7 to 10).

5 means normal human capable of any kind of physical and mental activity like running 4 miles in a decent time, getting a major at something not terribly complex or lifting a hundred kg weight at least once.

Deviations really are rare - most of people are average (5) and most of the rest are close to average (3-7). 2/9 are extremely rare and 10s are almost impossible to encounter.

10 INT person is a genius, and there are maybe low tens of those in each century.
9 INT person is a fucking closest thing to a genius _some_ of us may encoutner during our lifetimes (real 10s are close to impossible to encounter).
8 INT guy could be a very successful scientist (still soo much smarter than your average "smart guy" from the school or uni), or businessman or politician or whatever, those are usually called brilliant.

Same goes for perception - you have to be a superman with x-ray vision to get 10 and at least lousy infrared vision plus motion sensor for 9.

95% of all people think they are better than average at everything. Indeed

 

[A Shadows Age]

2 STRENGTH - I'm not very strong since working out is way too bothersome; but only jocks give a shit about that, my strong points are elsewhere (hint: Intelligence, which is far more important, duh)
9 PERCEPTION - I totally see through Fox News and I recognize how everyone around me is just a weak-minded sheep. I'm way above them.
8 ENDURANCE - Obviously not in the physical sense but I can study for hours, which obviously shows how endurable I am. Never mind that my only long term goal is getting good grades.
7 CHARISMA - Shallow people don't realize just how eloquent I really am. I've read at least 500 books and can quote more than 200 authors and historical figures.
10 INTELLIGENCE - My major is engineering so it's like I'm the next Einstein or something.
3 AGILITY - see strength
2 LUCK - I don't have any luck but I compensate with hard work. I'll show all those people who have only gotten by by being lucky enough to be born into the right circumstances! I know for a fact that they never worked hard for anything in life.

The average nerd's thought process.

Mr. Fantastic... What are you doing here? Go back to the power plant dammit!

I love how everyone always gives themselves a high 9-10 INT in these threads.

I was about to comment on the same thing. It does make everyone look a tad pretentious. That's usually why I can't do threads like this. I can't tell you guys if I am crazy or a genius or something in between. I just am not a good judge of myself.

With that being said, I guess I'll try to gauge my SPECIAL stats.

10 Strength
10 Perception
10 Endurance
10 Charisma
10 Intelligence
10 Agility
10 Luck

Looks about right.

6 STR
3 PER
5 END
5 CHA
8 INT
6 AGI
5 LUK

Strength, well I'm fairly strong. Not as strong as a lot of people but stronger than many. I used to be able to bench 325 and hoist a man into the air with one hand but those days are behind me.

Perception is bad. Need glasses for far vision, always miss details I catch in hind sight.

Endurance is a tough one. I tire fairly quickly but I'm hard to knock down and I can take a lot of punishment. Those are also attributes of endurance. I settled on a five.

Charisma, well I'm an excellent speaker. I can persuade people in private, charm strangers and I love speaking to crowds. I always get a good reaction too. I used to be a very good salesman as a matter of fact. But I'm not the handsomest guy in the world.

Intelligence: My IQ's 145 according to state tests. That's pretty good. But there's better.

Agility is a tricky stat for me. I'm not a fast runner at all. But I do have incredibly fast hands. To the point that people who have seen them when I have been in a fight have on more than one occasion expressed a great deal of surprise and amazement. I have caught the hands of people trying to punch me and spun them around behind their backs before they knew what was going on. I have talked to people after we fought and they claimed they couldn't even see my hands half the time. In short, my legs are slow but my hands are fast.

Luck. Hasn't been that good or that bad. I think God's watching out for me, but not handing me anything.

[Abedeus]

More like deduction.

I wrote I'm intelligent and unlucky.

You said "everyone here is a genius with terrible luck?", which indirectly translated to me being a narcissist with woe complex. Actually I'm not a narcissist - I'm fucking insecure about myself and shy as hell. Also something many people noticed about me as well.

Well you assumed/deduced incorrectly. I was speaking about the general trend of everyone's answers, not specifically you.

But, being a super-genius, you should have figured that out already.

Well I figured out after 2 posts that you enjoy insulting people and acting like an immature brat.

I have never seen a more hilarious example of hypocricy.

I would hardly call anything that has been said an insult, besides your name-calling.

I wasn't the only person to notice the trend of extremely high intelligence self-ratings of the thread.

I agree, you are a hypocrite.

"I don't insult you or anybody else! By the way, you are all narcissistic self-centered egomaniacs, and I use sarcasm to hide my insults!"
