About this number
Taylor in 1926 assigns B, K and T to 2, and those letters are what this sum can draw on directly. Mina Hale reaches it differently, through M and N making 9 and H and L making 11, which add to 20 and reduce to 2.
An impression built on 2, in Taylor's terms, runs to diplomacy and tact. Cheasley in 1916 calls it the mixer and the peacemaker, and Walton in 1914 speaks of influence that is refined, gentle and helpful. Those are all descriptions of conduct that other people can see, which makes them useful for a number about outward impression.
Modern popular numerology reads a Personality of 2 as an approachable, considerate first impression. Balliett's 1905 remark about a temperament unfit for hard places is the harsher reading of the same picture, and Sepharial's 1911 list, on a separate scheme, is harsher still. Books disagree here more than the modern summaries let on.
