What type of character do you have?

I just got to thinking after a discussion with Dina; how common are the different types of heroes?

With "different types", I mean personalities based on their mainstat. For example, my own character, Gears, has a high intelligence and his personality is based partly on that; therefore, he is an Egghead character. And Silver, from Heroes, would be more a Bulldozer/Tank combo IMO.

I realize that this poll is not the best; after all, it does not take into account any lower-than-usual stats; for example, Gears' 3 charisma, or Silvers (when unmodified) 3 intelligence. And especially the latter example shows that it has a lot to say...
Therefore, could anyone who answers this please leave a comment specifying further what type of character it is?

P.S; The point I was most curious about was a characters intelligence; for some reason, I seem to think that there are a lot of not so clever ponies around. I was wondering if I am correct in this, or if the observation is biased from just having finished Heroes and PH being the largest sidestory (which also uses a not-so-clever mainchara.) Therefore, I'd appreciate it if you noted if your character was under normal IQ, over normal IQ, or more or less normal.

Thanks for satisfying my personal curiosity! xD

What about people who just have a story and no stats to go with their protagonist?

Frost is a combination of Spotter, Fleet-hooved, and Smoothtalker. =D He's got an INT of 6, so he's slightly above-average in smarts, but he's nowhere near Rig or Azrael (or a few other chars). However, he doesn't have to be a genius to be creative...

You don't have to have numbers; you can determine that from personality (which was what I intended to measure here). For example, without knowing BJ's stats I can guess that she has high agility (due to her love of guns and her ability to fire them well), and probably endurance and strenght too. She also likely has low intellect, possibly low luck (y'know, getting boats dropped on her and stuff), and an unknown, possibly standard, charisma.

So essentially, jsut pick a stat that you think works the best with your character =D

Anne's main "weapon" is her brain. "The best way to win a fight is by observation and consideration." She will try to use tactics so she won't have to rely on the other stats. Take for example her encounter with Saffron, when she manages to get him to blow himself up.

For my main, i was thinking along the lines of both 'Charisma' and 'Intelligence', brains to talk and shoot ponies out of (or in) problems but will probably have a negative in some other stats with much 'harassing' situations.

My Main, Tech, is a definite Egghead, with a bit of Spotter, for Energy Weapons. He uses his mind to engineer plans on the fly but his childish nature would often make him mess up a lot, like if he sees a building that's clearly going to fall down, he will purposely go and shoot/hit it to make it fall down.

Silver would be a bulldozer/tank. She's often compared to a tank in the story so it fits.

Edit:

Well, 'cept for anyone who has chosen "egghead", since it pretty much implies it.
Well, considering Silver is the poster child for "not a clever" pony I'm going with less than average IQ :P
