i realise this and because you dont know me you wouldn really know or get it.. and would make fun of it.. you should do yours and post it then i will post mine.
I went to the website and it seemed to indicate by confiming the request for a free reading I would at the very least get junkmail from this outfit trying to sell me numerology secrets.

So I'm not going to go further with it.

Sorry, but I can't even fathom giving this website or their predictions even a shred of credibility.

People are free to make their own judgement about it, but to use math which is logical to perform an act which is fantastically illogical cries hoax to me.

We'd probably have to evaluate your personality using Binary.

Re: numerology

do it for the first 2 emails.. then send it to junk. yes i have it so it then continuosly tells you how it works for a couple months.. but i found it to be interesting so i didn mind.
you know i do believe everything is logical.. but some things can not be logically understood by us..yet.. like why are we here??? i mean there really is no way to explain logically how the entire universe came about... theories.. yes but they dont explain where the big bang came from..

some ideas like good trips says "maybe it always was." but really is that logical? that something can just exist? for no reason for it? .. i dunno..
alls i know is that i know infinetly less then i do know.

The search for something mystical is a common human pursuit. It's easier to believe something when you want to believe.

Binary doesn't leave a lot of room for modulus - odd or even. I'd be a simple man indeed

That would be about the funniest fortune cookie ever.

One of my dream jobs is to work in a fortune cookie factory designing fortunes that would mess with peoples' heads. Probably wouldn't pay too well, but man would it be rewarding.

Whenever you read a fortune from a cookie, always add the words "in bed" to the end of the fortune. Pretty funny stuff sometimes...

Re: numerology

Quote:
You are a natural born winner who is destined to make a lot of money. You are confident, charismatic and most comfortable in dealing with practical, down-to-earth affairs. You are blessed with an extraordinary drive and ambition as well as a fierce competitive spirit that gives you a definite edge in career and business.
I'm actually not that competitive. I kind of like just doing my own thing regardless of the 'competition'.
Quote:
You thrive best in a job that has a predictable routine and a tall social ladder to climb.
Predictable routines suck!
Quote:
You take great pride in your physical appearance and often appear very attractive to the opposite sex, which is only a hazard if the romance happens on the job. You have excellent taste in clothes and know how to gain the focus of an entire room of strangers.
My girlfriend would probably get a laugh out of this one. The amount of times she has to tell me not to keep wearing dirty clothes is actually amazing.
Quote:
You don't have much patience with people who are dreamy or mystical in nature and are a rationalist at heart.
A rationalist, maybe, but dreamy and 'mystical' people are actually pretty fun to be around.
Quote:
You believe that an effect follows a definite cause and that logic and efficiency is what produces results in life. You are ruled by head and not your heart, especially in matters of business. Sometimes this gives you a bit of a reputation for being cut throat. Sometimes you are not so much respected as feared by those that you lead.
Haha, nah, I'm a bit of a softie, actually.
Quote:
You are also the most status conscious of all of the numbers and aspire to be a pillar of the community. However, one of your life challenges might be to learn how to share your wealth in a truly philanthropic way rather than try to appear charitable for appearance's sake.
Wealth? What?
Quote:
Your will and determination to succeed is unrivalled by any other number. Once you conceive of an idea you have absolutely no problem sticking with it and seeing it through to completion even if it takes a number of years. Often you win at the game of life because you had the tenacity to be the last man standing.

You tend to be connected more to material wealth than spiritual wealth and to lust more than sex. Many of you marry for social reasons or because the individual seems right for the position of spouse. Your family unit often conceals a lot of secrets as when these relationships do not work out, you cannot bear the humiliation of separation or divorce. Although you have a lot of courage in other areas of your life you often don't have the courage to end a bad relationships for fear of what others might think.

Often the strength of your personality is overwhelming for those who come into contact with you. This strong personality is fantastic when it comes to career but it can damage your relationships with family and friends. Many 8's do not have real friends but rather a collection of individuals who admire their power. Likewise there is a tendency for your family or children to feel neglected as your career takes precedence over their emotional demands. One of your life challenges is to avoid dedicating your entire life to material success and allowing for spontaneity and love in your life.

You are also very athletic and likely to be good at sports. As you like to play as hard as you work you enjoy any past time that is competitive including golf, chess, equestrian pursuits.

You are also a master manipulator who knows how to compel others to do your will. Often you are an employer or a land owner who is responsible for the livelihoods of many other people. Being a wise provider is the way that you can most benefit others.
I'm just going to stop breaking it down, as pointing out all the inaccuracies is getting tiring...

Re: numerology

lol well maybe its all chance then.. interesting to me tho. i tended to ignore the bs and go right for the actual things i could verify... like i was a musician and my gf was a psycholgist and she got a job after looking for one for ever.. rest is really up to interpretation...

the idea behind is that you have different faces of your personality of you.. that you ignore and or one comes more dominate with time...
its devide into shit like
soul urge

lifes.. blla bla i forget

and something else.. there were3 different things.. so.. ya.

Re: numerology

I took one too... ain't that good. I found something to be true, while something not... as vague as expected.

Quote:
You are brilliant, inventive and above average intelligence. Others find you to be charismatic and inspirational and your life is often filled with appreciative employees and friends. Your very presence is reassuring and comforting to others and many seek out your advice and wise words. In fact, many 22's become recognized sages and spiritual gurus by the end of their life
It is true that I'm brilliant, but I'm not very charismatic or inspirational... that would only be in one of the most far-fetched uses of the word. It says I'm intelligent and good at getting it clearly out in words, which I'm not (Thought I'm very intelligent).

Maybe your evaluation was determined on opposite day, Speakeasy?
