No, then I’m saying it wrong. The stats only increase during various story passages and, as I showcased in my previous comment, I have found ways to ensuring you only get each increase once:
<<if visited("storypassage") eq 1>><<set $charisma+=1>>
The character info page merely show the values. However, every time you go to a menu passage, should as character info, you essentially “revisit” the story passage when you exit that menu again. Hence the above code. I hope that clarified my previous comment.
== Update ==
What you said, @tayruh, actually made me think a little. Then it dawned on me that because of the way I’ve made the character creation, the character sheet becomes available in the same passage as you received the final background-related modifiers, which may account for the messed-up variables during that sequence. I’ve implemented the same cap here as I use in the story passages now, to prevent the bonuses from repeating and I haven’t seen any further discrepancies. So, thank you, I really appreciate it 
However, that still leaves me with the +1 bonus that occasionally comes back as +5 instead. I’ve run a few dozen more tests, and I can’t help but feel like the answer is staring me right in the face. I just can’t figure out why it happens only sometimes… I’ve added the entire passage below, hoping that it might show one of you guys what I have done wrong:
<<set _rollResult to random(1,6) + $apsocial>><<if _rollResult gte 12>>You look at the goblins and they look back at you. You get up and advance a single step. Then you say in a confident voice:
//"You understand the common tongue?"//
The goblins look at each other in confusion but, then, one of them responds:
//"Aye, we does!"//
//"If you're smart"// you say with narrow eyes //"you'll run back the way you came, and never bother the good folk of these mountains again!"//
The goblins seem to be deliberating between themselves for a brief moment before giving you a determined nod.
//"We understands, you spares us and we goes home..."//
Before you can say anything more, the two goblins turn around and begins to sprint away...
//''Your Charisma has increased by +1''//<<if visited("Intro3N") eq 1>><<set $charisma+=1>><<set $apcombat to $agility + $fitness>><<set $apmagic to $cunning + $willpower>><<set $apstealth to $agility + $cunning>><<set $apsocial to $willpower + $charisma>><</if>>
[[Loot the spoils before you continue|Intro3K][$coin+=5]]
<<if $spHeal1 eq true and $energy gte 25 and $vitality lt $maxvitality>>[[Cast Minor Healing before you loot the bodies (-25 Energy)|Intro3K][$energy-=25; $vitality to $maxvitality; $coin+=5]]<</if>><<elseif _rollResult gte 8>>You look at the goblins and they look back at you. You get up and advance a single step before you say in a confident voice:
//"You understand the common tongue?"//
The goblins look at each other in confusion but, then, one of them responds:
//"Aye, we does!"//
//"If you're smart"// you say with a wicked grin //"you'll run back the way you came, and never bother the good folk of these mountains again!"//
The goblins seem to be deliberating between themselves for a brief moment before giving you a determined nod.
//"We understands, but we wants Tushak's coins"// one of them says and gestures to their dead friend //"you agrees, yes?"//
You consider it for a moment but eventually decide to let them have the spoils. How much coin can a few goblins really have anyway? You nod and the goblins proceed to rummage through their dead friend's belongings. As soon as they find the handful of coins they were looking for, they give you a nod and get up to run away...
[[Continue on your way->Intro3K]]
<<if $spHeal1 eq true and $energy gte 25 and $vitality lt $maxvitality>>[[Cast Minor Healing before you continue (-25 Energy)|Intro3K][$energy-=25; $vitality to $maxvitality]]<</if>><<elseif _rollResult lt 8>>You look at the goblins and they look back at you. You advance a single step and say in a confident voice:
//"You understand the common tongue?"//
The goblins look at each other in confusion but, then, one of them responds:
//"Aye, we does!"//
//"If you're smart"// you say with a serious mien //"you'll run back the way you came, and never bother the good folk of these mountains again!"//
The goblins seem to be deliberating between themselves for a brief moment before raising their spears and charging. Surprised by their bravery, you barely get your sword up in time to parry the first attack, and the next plants a sharp stick firmly in your hip...<<set $vitality-=10>>
