Put a face on the ability score

[Are]

I was musing on what (types of) real-life people might have 18s in the various ability scores, and came up with this:

STR: world-class weightlifters, strongman competitors

DEX: world-class gymnasts, world-class dancers

CON: ironman competitors, world-class marathon runners, arctic/antarctic expedition members

INT: Stephen Hawking, Albert Einstein

WIS: ???

CHA (force of personality): John F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King Jr
CHA (beauty): Miss World winners

Not sure who to put on WIS, so if anyone has suggestions for that or any of the others, please post them :)

Potential Wisdom candidates:

1) Great philosophers
2) Some (not all) figures of religious significance
3) People who avoid alignment threads

Tai chi masters Yogis, crime scene investigators and snipers/special forces people

Note that 20 is the max potential on a level 1 human, and one with lots of levels in expert or warrior could be higher.

Str: Bruce Lee (seriously. he could kick something that weighed more than he did to the ceiling easily.
Dex: Bruce Lee(?) (ever seen him punch? it only took about 0.06-0.08 seconds)
Con: Not bruce lee :( These people? (One guy got shot 8 times by firing squad, then again in the head at close range, and still managed to feign death long enough to escape)
Int: Agree @ OP
Wis: Martial arts masters? Philosophers? Cops? (<- Sense Motive)
Cha: Obama is (politics aside) quite charismatic, as are John Stewart and Stephen Colbert. Glen Beck is probably as well, though I haven't actually seen his show. I just assume he is because of how much crap he gets away with (bluff?).

18 is something of an arbitrary number; not what it once was in former editions. The upper limit of human ability In Pathfinder is likely somewhere betweeno 22-24. So if we're looking for the paragons of humanity, living or dead, here are my picks.

Strength: Mariusz Pudzianowski (Polish five time winner of the World's Strongest Man title.)

Dexterity: a young Jackie Chan (Hong Kong stuntman and actor)

Constitution: Grigori Rasputin (Russian monk and legendary substance abuser;
he survived being disembowelled, poisoned with cyanide, shot four times,
clubbed and castrated. Even after all that, he was still struggling against his bonds
when he finally drowned after being tied up and tossed into a icy river.)

Intelligence: Albert Einstein (Visionary theoretical physicist)

Wisdom: Siddharta Gautama (The Bhuddha and a paragon of meditative enlightenment)

Charisma: Bill Clinton (Former two-tern US President and a teflon womanizer)
