Interesting that no one is ever mostly average in everything! By definition 75% of us should all be 10-11 in everything. But anyway, going from the link that Darkman provided:
Stength 16
I'm early middle aged and stopped working out several years ago. Yet I'm almost certain that I could still cleanly press around 195 over my head--at least one rep, I've little doubt. It is doing it for multiple reps that would get tough.
Dex 16
I have well developed, realistic drawing skills; although I no longer play, at one time I played some extremely sophisticated chord melodies for jazz standards on the guitar (I used to teach also); I did learn to juggle in my 20's via an excellent book and could easily juggle 3 in the standard patterns, eg, reverse cascade, etc. I didn't continue with juggling to master 4 but I have no doubt I would have gotten that without much trouble.
Con 13
I virtually never get sick, but since I am completely sedentary and don't work out anymore my wind probably ain't that great. When I was in my late 20's I used to run 5 miles (and smoked about 3 packs of cigarettes a day, which didn't seem to affect my wind at all, really). On the other hand, I'm positive that I could currently push my body to run at least one mile. Once your body has been very fit it sort of remembers how to do everything it was formerly trained to do, it's just a matter of getting it back into shape. Anyway, I'd put my Con at high average.
Int 17
This I know from my Stanford-Binet IQ scores both as a child and an adult. I have to admit that immersion in CRPGing over the last year has however had an appreciable dulling effect. It's just so much fun, though.
Wis 15
I am unambitious and tend to be lazy, and I have more or less concluded that allowing myself to muddle about with those traits constitutes poor judgment. That is, if I were truly wise I would have pushed myself harder earlier in life (and even now) and would probably have a much more interesting life, both career-wise and re: the financial freedom to travel and explore. On the other hand, who is perfect? And in terms of understanding human nature, insight into the typical blindspots people have, politics, etc., I think I can honestly rate myself well above average. I feel the bottom line for wisdom is acceptance of what one does not know (and in some cases cannot humanly know), and having a genuine openness to see what is actually so--i.e, the ability to put one's own personal idiosyncracies, identifications, affinities, ticks, etc., in the backseat as you study an issue or a problem. I'm generally able to do that pretty well.
Cha 10
I do not have the sort of 'star quality' that makes people instantly likeable, popular, the center of attention, etc. I am shy and introverted. I'm sort of an intellectualizer, and tend to be reserved and serious. It is the folks who really enjoy social interaction and have a great wit, etc., that are the ones who get the most positive automatic responses from others. However I'm a reasonably attractive person and I have a strong command of the language, which tends to boost how people regard someone. It is on that basis that I don't give myself a 9, actually.
So if I was magically transported to the universe of Baldur's Gate?...
I would be choose to be a mage without a doubt. I would not specialize because I would not want to be limited in what I could learn and master. If I had grown up in such a universe I would likely have been a fighter who dualed to mage.
Alignment-wise I'm NG so I would not be a thief.
