Personality and Numerology: The Collective Behavior of
Peoples from 21 Countries provides a unique insight into the collective
personalities of people from North American, European, Middle Eastern and
Asian countries. Its explicit purpose is a nonjudgmental understanding
of how our planet functions without judgment, blame and criticism.
The tool used to glean these insights is numerology, an occult science and
art that goes beyond conventional psychological, sociological or
anthropological analysis. By quantifying and comparing behavior patterns it
is possible to get an overview of personality traits of peoples from
different countries.
I first became fascinated with numerology in 2000 when I chanced upon a slim
volume of basic principles. My interest quickly grew into an abiding passion
as I realized the potential of names and birthdays to reveal complex
personality traits. As I conducted more and more readings for individuals
both at home and abroad, I began to understand that nationalities and ethnic
groups share common traits that characterize their cultures and collective
behavior patterns.
I began to study groups of people through numerology, seeking commonalities
and differences. I soon recognized that nationalities and ethnic groups
share common traits that characterize their cultures and collective behavior
patterns. I focused on United States presidents, expecting such national
leaders to exhibit good self confidence, strong leadership qualities,
sensitivity and selfless giving. I soon realized that they had the same
personal life challenges as everyone else. For example, fourteen of the
forty two past presidents--33 percent of the total--had the personal
challenge of overcoming shyness in their early years! Their success was
apparently achieved by developing special talents despite innate obstacles.
I became curious about other world leaders and began to study British prime
ministers, members of Parliament, and US congressional members. I discovered
that Americans and British share most, but not all personality traits, as
might be expected. While I instinctively recognized these results based on
common sense, I now had quantitative data to explain it.
My fascination for understanding groups of people grew as I researched
different countries around the globe. I collected and analyzed over four
thousand numerology readings of leaders from 21 countries, seeing them as
representative of their nations. The fascinating results of this research
are the subject of this unique book.
As an American expatriate living in Israel for 35 years, I had often
wondered why Jews and Arabs have failed to achieve peace for so many
decades. Through numerology I was able to see that these two peoples are in
many respects contrasting opposites. This makes it easier to understand and
forego judgement.
Besides Arabs and Israelis, I studied two other pairs of countries that have
been in conflict for decades: Turks and Greeks, and Pakistanis and Indians.
Although religious differences undoubtedly play a part in these conflicts, I
believe that another underlying cause related to two personality
aspects--ego and inflexibility--may be an even more important factor. Ego
relates both to self confidence and self centeredness, and flexibility
reveals the ease in which people make changes. Both traits may be easily
quantified with a numerology reading. They make a strong statement regarding
the nature of all people.
Israel and Arabs
Ego-based characteristics of both Israelis and Arabs are higher than
average--low self confidence describes 69 percent of Jewish Israelis, while
60 percent of Arabs are self centered. Furthermore, inflexibility levels of
both countries are exceptionally high--84% for Arabs and 68% for Israelis.
Greece and Turkey
The patterns of ego and flexibility in Greece and Turkey are
similar to those of Arabs and Israelis--a 59 percent level of low self
confidence for Turks, and a 78 percent Greek level of self centeredness.
Both countries have inflexibility levels of 60 percent or more.
India and Pakistan
Once again, a high rate of ego-centered behavior--76% for Indians and 77%
for Pakistanis--together with an inflexibility level of 66% for Indians and
80% for Pakistanis can be considered as the underlying cause of conflict
between these neighboring countries.
The attached charts show the results of my research
related to ego and flexibility. Other personal attributes of the 21
countries studied include sensitivity, self expression, work ethic,
responsibility, spirituality, technical ability, materialistic values,
humanitarian values, and idealism. Using numerology, it is possible to
dispassionately understand the role of human personality and world events.
