Even though there’s only one “you,” there are so many “you”s – and I think that even without knowing what I mean, you know what I mean.
There’s a “real” you. A true you. And in a very real way, only you know the real you. Everyone else gets some filtered version of you. It may be similar, or every person may get a drastically different for you. We all pick and choose what we reveal to others, how much of our real selves we let others see.
That’s fine – that’s part of being human. When it gets dangerous is when we’re not paying attention, when we’re not even aware ourselves of the message we’re projecting. We have to always be aware of what other people are seeing when they meet us.
Enter, personality number.
The personality number is a great way to get an idea of what people see when they meet you. Of course, you have control over this. But there is a certain way that people see you, when you’re not acting, a sort of “default” mask. That’s what our personality number tells us.
How to Calculate Your Personality Number
Your personality number is calculated from the letters in your full name at birth, particularly just the consonants. In this way, it’s very similar to the calculation for your expression number, as well as your soul urge/heart’s desire number.
The set up is exactly the same:
- Write out your full name at birth (first, middle, and last).
- Place the numerological value of just the consonants above (or below) the letters
- Add and reduce the numbers for your first name, middle name and last name separately. You should have three separate numbers.
- Add these three numbers together, reducing as necessary.
In this calculation, we won’t reduce master numbers 11, 22 (and 33 if you prefer.)
How to Interpret Your Personality Number
You interpret the personality number much like any other core number, using the common numerological meanings of the single-digit and master numbers. If you need a refresher on the single-digit numbers, you can find that article here.
Remember that not everybody (in fact, probably almost nobody) sees the real you. But make sure you’re aware of what they are seeing, and how they perceive you.
