The Personality Number is one of the 5 core numbers in Numerology.
Of the two main numbers derived from the Destiny, or Expression Number (also sometimes called the “Total Name Number”) the Personality Number is probably the least known. The other is the Soul Urge Number – and whilst the Soul Urge is calculated using only the vowels in your full name at birth, the Personality Number is calculated using only the consonants.
What’s The Meaning of The Personality Number?
This core number is pretty self-explanatory – it describes the personality! The characteristic traits and qualities that make you who you are, when relating to other people in the world. As such, it often uncannily describes the personal style and preferred dress of the individual.
Interestingly some modern Numerologists call this number the “Quiet Self”. They use it not as a marker of outward behavior, but as an indicator of what an individual dreams of doing in the outer world.
One thing is certain: It’s a vital number to consider when it comes to understanding the self, being able to practice acceptance, self-compassion, and self-love.
Knowing more about this small corner of your Numerology chart can also provide pointers on how to work on certain areas of the self, to improve, grow and develop into maturity.

How To Calculate Your Personality Number
In Numerology, there are two ways to find the Personality Number (according to Pythagorean Numerology that is).
1. Subtract the Soul Urge Number from the Destiny Number
** NOTE: If you find the Personality by the subtraction method, then the Master Numbers 11 or 22 won’t be revealed unless you use the subtotals.
2. Add together the numerological values of all the consonants in your full birth name. Then keep summing until you reach a single digit (or Master Number).
Remember that this number cannot come from your nickname or your married name, but must be the name that is found written in full on your birth certificate, (that’s first name, middle name/s, and surname/s) and if your name is misspelled on your birth certificate, use that to configure your Personality number.
The way that we do this in numerology, is by using the alphabet conversion chart below:
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 |
| A | B | C | D | E | F | G | H | I |
| J | K | L | M | N | O | P | Q | R |
| S | T | U | V | W | X | Y | Z |
WHAT ABOUT THE LETTER Y?
It can be hard to know what to do with the letter Y, because sometimes it’s used as a consonant, and sometimes as a vowel. It all depends on how it’s being used within each specific word, and what sound it makes.
Here’s a simple rule to help you work out whether to include it in your calculation:
USE THE LETTER “Y” AS A CONSONANT WHEN…
- Y is used in place of a hard consonant sound (Yoda, Yuliana, Toyota)
- Y follows a vowel in the same syllable and does not provide a separate vowel sound (Grayson, Maya, Nataliya)
