By asking that, you're veering into religious territory on these boards. ;) I like p. B14 well enough, but I might add some more categories:
6 or less
Crippling (literally -- you can't live a normal life)
7
Poor (you can life a normal life, with care, but never be an adventurer)
8-9
Below Average (low side of able-bodied, probably the lowest an adventurer should ever have)
10
Average (most scores for most people)
11-12
Above Average (high side of able-bodied, probably a good average for adventurers)
13-14
Exceptional (highest you'll likely meet on the street, above average for adventurers)
15-16
Amazing (highest you'll likely see or hear about, strongly defines an adventurer)
17-18
Legendary (historical "bests" and remarkable fictional heroes)
19-20
Mythic (astounding even among great heroes in fiction and folklore)
21 or more
Superhuman (off-limits to humans, barely suitable for great heroes, okay for deities)
