Arithmacy is spooky! Everything I tried works. Except, when I put in my last name, which I hardly ever use, it was tottaly different than when I used my middle name, the one I usually use. When I did the middle name, it was SOOO right!

ok- you go by dave, right? well we both have the same numbers- 3, 3, 9! i've only found one other person with those exact numbers and that's Padma Patil- awesome! you must be, like, my twin from the past or something!
but what's weird is when you type in names from history- try Zeus- 8, 8, 9; or Odysseus- 1, 5, 5- fits him pretty well! I don't know if you've heard of the epic of Gilgamesh (it's reallly old) but Gilgamesh is 9, 6, 3- it's scary how accurate these things can be! You get a perfect fit every time!
I have a twin, though- and her numbers are completely different from mine- I wonder what that could mean... It could explain why we don't often get along...
You said this was the most basic concept of arithmancy? what are the more advanced parts to it? Man, I'd love to go to hogwarts and take this class, it's so awesome!

Okay! It is: Ronald Bilius Weasley, and Harry James Potter! The results are quite different then

Woah. That is the coolest thing I've ever read about. I've been obsessed with finding out what Arithmancy was since I first came across it in Harry Potter. It's so neat, J.K. Rowling included so many interesting things in her books...

Thank you so much for posting that, it made it so simple. I'm to go to Hogwarts now and take Arithmancy!

What is the significance of 9,9,9? What type of personality does it indicate? Is it complete fullness to the extent that the person doesn't need anyone and can live alone?

It could mean that, but it could also mean that you're so complete, you're so 100% OK, that you get along with the world and enjoy everybody's company.

My brother's numbers are:

This is so... spooky.

There's a lot of talk about whether Grindelwald and Dumbledore were lovers, and if you type in their names (Dumbledore's full name; I don't know Grindelwald's full name), they are BOTH 6's in the "Heart" section!

Whoa, I wonder if parents can name their kid to certain numbers? that would be scary-Imagine, a whole world full of 999!
