Clean and strict/push press? ( not clean and jerk )
Squat?
Depends on the sport but I remember Markos from PTC saying a fair while back that he personally used to always consider the clean and strict/push press a true measure of strength, takes strength in every aspect to be able to clean and press a big number overhead.

of lifts outside specific weight sports being trained for, I would say some sort of olympic lift, say power clean and push press. I say this on principle that speed is king in terms of training for most power sports, not grinding strength movements.
Problem is skill levels so important. Also some people do power cleans strict, whereas others do wide split.
Having said that, I once measured a champion Aust bb with a 90cm standing vertical, no Olympic lifting background at all, although he could and occasionally did up to 700 jump squats in a row with bodyweight (his claim).
I prefer an overhead shot put as an expression of pure power, with athletes using weights as conditioning. for bodyweight power, standing long or vertical.

You dont judge a fish on its ability to climb a tree.
I'll have to have a look, I think I have numbers on my old computer. I used to be ok at high jump and long jump at school.
I think at footy training tests had results similar to your numbers.
