I'm not sure the TFT "Strength" scale is linear. Remember, in the 
"Weight Carried" rules (ITL p.35), the maximum amount you can lift 
(or shift) goes as the *square* of ST. Weight carried long distances 
does go linearly with ST, but that could be a simplification of 
endurance being separate from strength ... but I'm into speculation 
here.
