Figuring out your mental scores.

Okay, in this thread, you can post what you are good at and bad at mentally based on the descriptions of what each mental stat encompasses in the PHB.

Me, i make good grades in school in most subjects. I am also a failry fast reader. But i would hardly consider myself smart, i think i actaully have a below average intelligence score.

Some people say i have no common sense, but that is mostly my older brother, and he likes to give me a hard time. I do, however, believe very deeply in what i believe in. And, i can be very observant at times.

I am not too social, but i do not care at all what other peole think of me, most are at worst indifferent to me. And at best friendly.

I would say i am a Low Int, Average Wis, and Average Cha person.

So, post what you are good and bad at mentally.

EDIT: Oh yeah, i also have a bad tendency to screw up a lot of very simple things. I also daydream A LOT, whenever i am not supposed to be doing anything else, i am usually daydreaming. I am also probably the least serious person in my family. I do not worry about things as much as the rest of my family does.

I'd say that I have about a 12 in Intelligence, as I am not TOO quick to do mental calculations, yet I have quite a good memory.

In Wisdom, I'd rate myself at about a 14-16, as I am very observant and constantly think in the abstract, always think things through, and generally, wise.

Charisma-wise, it's somewhat hard to rate. I am very talented at making speeches(although I do get nervous in front of a crowd), not too keen on meeting new people, but am quite capable of making new friends, although I tend to be more of a loner. Overall, I'd say around 14, though I mostly keep to myself, not using it very often, but when I do, It's effective.
 

Man, can't we include physical scores? It would make me feel much better.

I'm pretty smart - I learn very easily, good at figuring stuff in my head, very good with numbers and formulas. I would say my Intelligence is somewhere around 14, maybe a bit higher.

I'm somewhat observant, but mostly I'm insightful, especially regarding myself and other people, which is in part a function of charisma as well. I would say no higher than a 12 for Wisdom.

I prefer to be by myself, but I'm really good with people - reading them, talking to them, and generally being personable. I'm also fairly good looking (according to the ladies), especially my eyes, shoulders, and bum (again, according to the ladies). I would say I have a Charisma equal to whatever you make my intelligence, or maybe a one point difference either way.

Physically I'm a joke though :p. I have terrible Strength - no higher than 8, probably more like 6 or 7. I'm not overly graceful or clumsy, I would say 9-10 for Dexterity. My Constitution isn't too bad - I have a strong healthy immune system and I don't get sick too often, and when I do it's not too bad. I would say an 11 or 12 for Constitution, maybe a bit higher.
 

Okay, I'll bite...

I took an IQ test last year and score in the top 0.5% according to the stats available. I'm pretty quick to pick up new things and have good logical abilities. Let's say a 16 INT.

I've got a minor in Philosophy (BA is Political Science) and am quite religious (hey, if it works for a cleric....). I've been noted as having a strong will. For all that, I tend to be impulsive and rush into things. Call it above average, but not much. Maybe a 12 WIS. This is also where my level 4 attribute point is going. :)

I was neither popular nor unpopular as a kid, and don't have exceptional looks one way or the other. I can be persuasive, but I think that's more a function of a high Diplomacy (learned through Dale Carnegie courses and books and the like) than of natural charisma. Let's go with a straight average 10 CHA.
