you people do understand that 10 is a base stat for an AVERAGE adult human right?

20 is reserved for the wit of a master wizard or the strength of a dragon, or the constitution of a Eldridge slime, the dexterity of a hornet, or the charisma of a beautiful siren.

the fact that I see so many stats over 11 leads me to believe that many of you don't really understand this game...

In 5e, yea, but that's only because they put a hard cap on skills. In 3.5 having something like a 18 or 17 is laughable in comparison to some of the higher up stats that you can get.

10 is the base stat of a regular human with no bias one way or the other, while 18 represents the maximum of human potential without some sort of supernatural or magical interference (a dragons strength is closer to 40, a master wizard can easily get to 30+ intelligence with the right items)
www.dandwiki.com/wiki/SRD:Carrying_Capacity gives a pretty good idea of what the different strength values reflect versus the real world, which you can then use a measuring stick for the other stats.
I'd say most people should have something like 2 8s, 2 10s, a 14 and a 12, although the actual numbers don't matter and what you should pay attention to is something akin to low, high, medium, best and worst.

back on topic
For me I think it's
Str: 11 - I'm a bigger guy with good leg and shoulder strength even if my arm strength is a little weaker since I don't maintain a strenous work out regime. I can do a couple of pull ups and since I weigh 240 pounds that means I can lift 240 pounds of the ground which matches up with a high 11 or a low 12.

Dex: 7- Big pudgy fingers mean I fumble with things that require fine dexterity like sewing or playing instruments, I lose my balance rather easily because I have crappy posture, and over the last few years my reflexes have taken a bit of swan dive.

Con: 12 - every couple of days I'll run about 5 miles and don't really have to slow down or take a break, I can eat damn near anything and be fine, I can drink an amount that matches up with my weight (which as I said before is quite a bit) and for as long as I can remember I've always been able to keep moving when those around me have started to become exhausted.

Int: 14 - While I wasn't particularly talented at anything as a kid I've picked up a good array of skills over the years, I know a bit about business, a bit about acting, a lot about drawing, a moderate amount about programming, a lot about CG, a good deal about traveling, a good deal about law, I can cook, and with a bit of research on the internet and some preparation I can do/make just about anything I set my mind to so I'd say intelligence is my greatest virtue, even if there really is no solid average to measure it against.
Wis: 10 - Wisdom is innately knowing what the right thing to do is and I can't really tell if my life decisions have been good or bad or until they've either panned out or flopped so I'll say this is a 10.

Cha: 8~12 - another stat that's kind of arbitrary since a lot of charisma is left up to taste. in the past I have been told I'm 'creepy, nerdy, annoying, or that I just have one of those faces someone wants to hit etc etc' however I've also been called 'funny, a nice guy, and trust worthy so personality wise I'm kind take it or leave it, no one really ever hates me but no one ever really loves me either. On the physical side of charisma I'm also kind of in a quagmire because I have a good face, good hair, and a decent body structure but I also have pale white skin since I live in a rain forest, acne because I don't drink enough water and drink to much soda/juice, and usually a pretty unkempt look since my clothes are usually wrinkled from living out of a dufflebag and I only get my hair cut every other month so it tends to grow out to the point of unruliness a lot.

0 Strength means your character is unconscious
0 Dexterity means your character is incapable of moving
0 Constitution means your character is dead
0 Intelligence means your character is in a coma
0 Wisdom means your character is unconscious(again)
In case you were wondering, 0 Charisma also means you are unconscious, and you only need one of these 3 stats to become 0 to be unconscious

STR: 7 (never been able to build mass, plus I always pull mussels every time I try to lift and get really sore for a month )

INT: 11 (I know a little about a lot, and a lot about a little)
Wis: 10 (sometimes I notice things others don't, but I have poor organizational skills and am forgetful)

Charisma: 11
Wisdom: 14
Intelligence: 12

I'm not the strongest, but that's because I stopped exercising.
Never been the fastest or most dexterous.
I have some medical issues.
I'd like to think I'm decently likeable.
I've been around the block more than once. Wisdom is the only thing I've ever had going for me.
I'm smart, but I don't fully apply myself unless I really like something.

I'm pretty late to the party, but...

STR: 10 (+0) (Pretty average)
DEX: 9 (-1) (Sometimes I'm a bit clumsy)
CON: 9 (-1) (My stomach gets upset sometimes)
INT: 15 (+2) (I'm a web developer, I'm pretty good at logic and **** )
WIS: 12 (+1) (I often make the right decisions intuitively which would have put this score on 14, but I'm also lazy as **** and don't do things i should do even though i know really should, so -2 for laziness)
CHA: 13 (+1) (I'm nice, and sometimes funny i believe)

So yeah I'd probably be a wizard as well

according to www.easydamus.com/, these are my results:

True Neutral Human Wizard (2nd Level)
Ability Scores:
Strength- 11
Dexterity- 13
Constitution- 12
Intelligence- 15
Wisdom- 12
Charisma- 12

Not too far off
I was also almost a Monk/Ranger/Sorcer (all at score 14, wizard at 16)
I'm also very clearly neutral in both Law/Chaos and Good/Evil alignments:
Law & Chaos:
Law ----- XXXX (4)
Neutral - XXXXXXXXXXX (11)
Chaos --- XXXXXXX (7)

Good & Evil:
Good ---- XXXXXXX (7)
Neutral - XXXXXXXXXXXXX (13)
Evil ---- XXXX (4)

I can recommend this test, was fun to do it. Thanks to Dieselfire! (>>#74, )

STR: 19 (+4) I'm pretty well built, but I won't likely be punching through steel anytime soon
DEX: 8 (-1) I can hold myself upright and use a basic kitchen knife without severing a finger. That's about it.
CON: 17 (+3) Vicious immune system, powerful stomach, and can hold my drinks well.
INT: 14 (+2) Decent processing speed, and I retain a good amount of info.
WIS: 12 (+1) Still a work-in-progress, but I can apply knowledge sufficiently.
CHA: 9 (-1) I know HOW to communicate well, those skills just malfunction on occasion. Slightly lower than average in terms of looks.

I'd most likely be a Warblade (basically a stronger, more intelligent barbarian).

INT: 9 (-1) I was never good in school. But I learn well through practice.
WIS: 9 (-1) I have room for improvement here. Still waiting for my brain to cap out at age 25.
CHA: 13 (+2) I look fairly good, dress nicely, and do well in conversation. All of this comes in handy when you work in service. And I will also attribute my artsy abilities to this stat.

Str 12 - Better than average, but not a bodybuilder
Dex 13 - Good balance and finesse with my hands, but uncoordinated
Con 12 - Solid immune system, low tolerance for intoxicants
Int 14 - Knowledgeable, good at math, and reasonably clever.
Wis 12 - Good decision making skills, though often distracted.
Cha 10 - Social interaction based entirely on knowledge, rather than innate talent.

I'd be a rogue or expert of some kind.

STR 13 (I lift)
DEX 8 (decent at short distance, horrible at long, and average reflexes)
CON 9 (Great immune system, but a few other chronic problems)
INT 12 ( i know a ton of random **** )
WIS 13 (i love to learn, and think i give solid advice)
CHA 8 ( good at talking to friends and people who are close, but spaghetti falls out of pockets moment I talk to others.)

Maybe a spellsword or other meele/magic user. Kinda a scrub but does anyone know of any other classes that fit the bill?

I found a "real life" ability test for D&D at easydamus. Also gives class and alignment. But it doesn't say which edition it's based on.

True Neutral Ranger (level 4)
Strength- 12
Dexterity- 12
Constitution- 14
Intelligence- 15
Wisdom- 17
Charisma- 13

looking over the scores tally. I was even for True neutral/chaotic neutral. Almost a half-orc as well. I have no idea why the **** I'm a ranger based on this test. I'm thinking I should have been a priest because of the WIS 17.

I'm not entirely sure how someone could possibly roll base stats for themselves irl and have it be higher than an 18. You only roll 3 d6. My favorite part being that there are a few comments that put their intelligence over 18... irony is pretty sweet.

That being said, if average Joe blow dufus McGee NPC on the street has a 10 in any given stat, how high of an opinion of yourself must you have to think your stat is worlds above it? We're talking legendary narcissism here. A score of 18 intellegence would belong to rocket scientists and chemists. Engineers and archetects would have a score like that... not someone who "can memorize facts." Memorization is a parlor trick, real intellegence comes from practical use and creativity in your field.

And you people claiming to have 18's in Str... right because you can lift 1200lbs and carry it for 5 hours. How about that 18 in Dex? If you're not working for Cirque du Soleil or running in the Olypics stfu. 18 in con? Ever needed a flu shot? or have a headache? How about diarrhea from a bad night of drinking and taco bell? Charisma? LOL no matter what you say, you do not have droves of people lining up at your door asking for your hand in marrage. You're not stopping gang violence int he street by breaking into song or convincing a total stranger to give you all of their earthly possessions because they just won the lottery they haven't yet participated in.

18 stats are statistically improbable via the dice and if you read the books and the descriptors; NOT JUST THE NUMERICAL VALUES, then you'd realize that someone with a stat of 18 would be constituted as a paragon, the best of the best. Cream of the Crop. They would most likely not utilize other stats as much if at all due to the incredibly high value. Str of 18? K. You are dumb as dirt because all you do is lift all day bro. Dex of 18? Neat you can turn yourself into a pretzel... circus act! Or gymnast but you probably are anti social since you spend your life training your body to do ridiculous things other people would find disturbing.

TL;DR Y'all are a bunch of narcissistic lying min/maxing douche-bags who have no idea how dnd really works.

STR: 12 (+1) - Naturally disposed to a healthy build and used to work out, but haven't been arsed to take advantage of it.
Dex: 18: (+4) - Bones and ligaments to rigid to even approach a contortionist, but I've got a surgeon's hands with enough hand-eye coordination to thread a needle in a single motion.
Con: 18 (+4) - I can eat anything from raw meat to metal with no complications, get sick exactly twice a year (once with the yearly flu, once with common cold), never more, and never actually get tired from it. I regularly drink enough to kill a man but don't even get hungover.
Int: 16 (+3) - I am a literal rocket scientist, what more needs to be said?
Wis: 18 (+4) - If something can be done, I will find a way to do it. Got eyes and ears like a bastard too.
Cha: 6 (-2) - Socially retarded, but I've worked hard to overcome it. Bluffing is the only thing I can really do, for appealing I use wisdom to figure out what to say rather than relying on charm or social antennae.

Quite a lot on the high side, I know, really do feel unfairly advantaged with my body.
