Birth Test – I Am A "The Conservative"

Birth Test

Let me know your number. Once you have discovered your Birth Number, share with family and friends. Put your ‘number’ in the ‘Subject’ and pass it on! Have fun!

Our Birth Date describes who we are, what we are good at, and what our inborn abilities are. It also points to what we have to learn and the challenges we are facing.. To figure out your Birth Number, add all the numbers in your Birth Date together, like in the following example, until there is only one digit.

A Birth Number does not prevent you from being anything you want to be, it will just color your choice differently and give you a little insight.

Example: March 20, 1950
3 + 20 + 1950 = 1973
1 + 9 + 7 + 3 = 20
2 + 0 = 2

Keep going until you end up with a single digit number. 2 is the Birth Number to read for the Birth Date in the example.

#2 THE PEACEMAKER
#3 THE LIFE OF THE PARTY
#4 THE CONSERVATIVE
#5 THE NONCONFORMIST
#6 THE ROMANTIC
#7 THE INTELLECTUAL
#8 THE BIG SHOT
#9 THE PERFORMER

# 1 – THE ORIGINATOR- 1’s are originals. Coming up with new ideas and executing them is natural. Having things their own way is another trait that gets them labeled as being stubborn and arrogant. 1’s are extremely honest and would do well to learn some diplomacy skills. They like to take the initiative and are often leaders or bosses, as they like to be the best. Being self-employed is definitely helpful for them. Lessons to learn: Others’ ideas might be just as good or better; and to stay open minded.
Famous 1’s – Tom Hanks, Robert Redford, Hulk Hogan, Carol Burnett, Wynona Judd, Nancy Reagan, and Raquel Welch.

#2 – THE PEACEMAKER- 2’s are the born diplomats. They are aware of others’ needs and moods and often think of others before themselves. Naturally analytical and very intuitive, they don’t like to be alone. Friendship and companionship are very important and can lead them to be successful in life; but, on the other hand, they’d rather be alone than in an uncomfortable relationship Being naturally shy, they should learn to boost their self-esteem and express themselves free ly and seize the moment and not put things off. ;
Famous 2’s – P resident Bill Clinton, Madonna, Whoopie Goldberg, Thomas Edison and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

They should learn to be more flexible and to be nice to themselves.
Famous 4’s – Neil Diamond, Margaret Thatcher, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Tina Turner, Paul Hogan, and Oprah Winfrey

# 5 – THE NONCONFORMIST- 5’s are the explorers. Their natural curiosity, risk taking, and enthusiasm often land them in hot water. They need diversity, and don’t like to be stuck in a rut.

They are well advise d to look before they take action and make sure they have all the facts before jumping to conclusions.
Famous 5’s – Abraham Lincoln, Charlotte Bronte, Jessica Walter, Vincent Van Gogh, Bette Midler, Helen Keller and Mark Hail.

Questioning everything in life, they don’t like to be questioned themselves. They’re never off to a fast start, and their motto is ’slow and steady wins the race.’ They come across as philosophers and being very knowledgeable, and sometimes as loners. They are technically inclined and make great researchers uncovering information. They like secrets.
