Attributes according to Star Trek

Liz and I were watching the Classic Star Trek marathon on BBC America today, and I had a thought. Kirk, Spock, and McCoy are iconic reflections of the social attributes of Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma.

Spock = Intelligence
McCoy = Wisdom
Kirk = Charisma

I wonder if this sort of comparison could be used when introducing new folks to C&C? If so, who do you think would cover Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution?

If I were to look at Prime Attributes I would go -

Kirk - Charisma, Wisdom, Strength
Spock - Intelligence, Strength, Charisma (1/2)
McCoy - Wisdom, Intelligence, Constitution
Sulu - Dexterity, Intelligence, Constitution
Chekov - Intelligence, Wisdom, Charisma
Uhura - Comeliness!!!! oh, ahem, Charisma, Intelligence, Wisdom
Chapel - Charisma, Wisdom, Constitution
Rand - Charisma, Wisdom, Dexterity
Pike (Young) - Charisma, Intelligence, Strength
Pike (Old) - Charisma, Intelligence, Wisdom
Khan - Intelligence, Strength, Constitution
Mudd - Constitution, Charisma, Wisdom
Klingons - Strength, Constitution
Romulans - Intelligence, Wisdom
Crewman I, II, III, etc. - Does it matter?

Tribbles = Charisma.

Apparently, the Star Trek universe cares a great deal about Charisma. No one there fails a save vs. death. Phasers must save against Constitution.
