I don't know who created this meme, but I apologize for my slight changes and hope I haven't offended whoever it is with my changes. It's my personal opinion, as all mary-sue, gary-lou traits are. And before too long I will post an actual bio of this character.

Do you try to prove that your character is not a Mary Sue by pointing out things in the text? When applicable, yes, it would be silly not to. (Unless you're referring to the story text and not text in any FMA series)

My final point tally including the questions I considered discounted is 10. Not including those, it's seven. I'd say this character is doing fine.
0-16 Points – Not a Sue. Excellent job. Anyone who calls your character a Sue at this point is a wanker, and you can quote me on that.
16-21 Points – Probably not a Sue, although I'd be very careful at this point if I were you.
22-29 Points – Definitely some Sue tenancies. You might wanna give yourself a good check before it's too late.
30+ Points – You are ridiculous. Go back to the drawing board, and restart, right now.
