that it so annoying. my numbers are the same as hitlers. is that a good thing or a bad? my friends and my numbers are the same but reversed, like, i'm 238, he's 832. i wonder why some peples are the same? i think we can be sure most peoples are the exact explanation of their personality, but some are completely wrong. this is odd. again, i wonder why? I think JK must have planned the whole ron and harry same number thing, otherwise thet's just too much of a coincidence, or maybe she made up the names and THEN decided on peronalitys? when i tiped in Percy Weasly, it came up with
C:8
H:2
S:6
and i reckon all of them fit except 6. i mean, 8's are good in politics, and percy was working at the ministrty, 2's are 'opposing forces' and perce goes from being a complete snob to sticking with the good guys in the end, like snape.
i just realised something, i hav this little tag thing which has the meanign of your name on it and it says "Meaning: the PURE and the DARK". opposing forces, correct? and my character number is 2! how right is that? another wierd thing is that parts of the number explanations are completely right, while others are really true, like, my character number is 3, and most of it's correct, though I honestly don't believe i'm talented and have an artistic nature. I wonder what thats all about?

I think the way Arithmancy works is on baby name stereotypes. I mean, when you name a kid, say, Velma, you'd think that person who the name describes is really smart, and naturally, the person conforms to that name. Names are made to suit the person you are talking about. If someone was named Velma and she wasn't that smart at all, then Arithmancy wouldn't really work for her.

I wonder...do you use your given name or your taken name? For example, would you use Ron or Ronald? And am I supposed to use Jenny or Jennifer?

Some thoughts-
My numbers(1-2-8) are the same as Tom Riddle as well as Cedric Diggory, and Seattle.

I've been freaking out on this. And i've ended a (Not so serious) Relationship partially because of this. not that i'm blaming anything on this site:-) But if someone has different numbers does it mean they are doomed to eternal dis-likable?

Arithmacy indicated a solution to a deep and long lasting dilemma in my heart and in my life. Thank you

I know we're all huge Harry Potter fans and everything, and that Arithmancy is kinda cool, but really, if you rule your life by numbers you're not really going anywhere, because numbers are a pattern, uncomplicated, and unbending, and humans aren't. Humans are bending, erratic, and always changing. Albus Dumbledore wisely tells us that our choices make us who we are. Destiny is an imprecise concept, and not well defined by what our names are.

hmm..... mine wasn't very accurate... maybe this doesn't work on some people? I got an 8,4,4, and i know i'm not powerhungry, domineering, down to earth, or good at organizing. i'm determined and reliable (i hope) though.

My numbers are 9,6,3 just like the spooky alphabet.

Posted by Ali Lewis from NC on July 3, 2008 7:39 PM

For me (with my real name of course) it's:
Character: 5
Heart: 8
Social: 6

But i definetely am not imbalanced, conceited, impatient, i do not gossip, jealous, greedy, domineering, and power-hungry.
