The Outer Mask You Wear
The Personality number comes from the consonants of your full birth name. It governs the impression you make when people first encounter you — your outer manner, appearance choices, and social persona. It is often called the mask. A 1 Personality reads as confident and authoritative even if the person is privately anxious. Understanding it helps explain gaps between how others see you and how you experience yourself.

Consonants — The Calculation
Write your full birth name and mark all consonants. Assign each consonant a Pythagorean value (B=2, C=3, D=4, F=6, G=7, H=8, J=1, K=2, L=3, M=4, N=5, P=7, Q=8, R=9, S=1, T=2, V=4, W=5, X=6, Y=7, Z=8). Add and reduce. This number describes your social filter — what you let the world see. Cross-reference with your Soul Urge to find the gap between your public and private self.
