Personality number

5

Numbers describe tendencies in a symbolic tradition. They cannot decide health, money, law, marriage or children.

About this number

Walton in 1914 writes that this number tends toward excitement and nervousness, and Balliett in 1905 says its people are self-sufficient, poised and fascinating. Those two accounts describe how a 5 comes across in a room, and they do not match.

Consonants alone build the sum, so E drops out and N and W remain as the letters Taylor in 1926 assigned directly to 5. Mina Page gets here with M and N making 9, P and G making 14 and reducing to 5, and those two parts making 14, then 5.

A restless and engaging first impression is the modern popular reading of a Personality of 5. Cheasley in 1916 gave the older version of this charm, attraction to everything and attachment to nothing, and Taylor used the word charming itself.
