[Doctor Who] How powerful is the average Time Lord?

I know the species as a whole is incredibly unbelievably powerful but how powerful is the average person?

An average Time Lord would be considered superhuman.  

They are stronger and more resilient than humans.  They have a reduced need for oxygen, they are able to go for longer periods without food or sleep.  They tolerate environmental extremes better.

Time Lords are also psychic; they have limited telepathy, often requiring them to be in physical contact with their target.  

Lastly, they have a unique connection to time itself.  This appears to be a form of perception, like an extra sense.  

Time Lords also have the advantage of access to extremely advanced technology and the science that underpins it.  Time Lord science and technology appears to still be improving, meaning that they are still learning and growing.

As to how they got here...evolution took them part of the way.  Close proximity to The Untempered Schizm affected their development.  They've also changed themselves, although exactly how much is the subject of some debate.  They're one of the oldest species in the universe, so they've had a while to get where they are.
