What it describes
Your deep need for fulfilment is to have given something that goes on having an effect beyond you. Not just to succeed for yourself, but to know that your contribution changed someone else’s trajectory.
Your place is in roles of collective reach: humanitarian, international, any work whose impact goes beyond a single organisation or a single country. This is not just one interest among others, it is a real condition of your professional fulfilment: you rarely feel accomplished in work whose effect stays strictly local and limited, however useful and well paid.
In practice, you feel real accomplishment when you see the effect of what you passed on go on spreading, even without you. An entirely personal success leaves you with a strange sense of emptiness, despite the objective achievement.
What feeds my pride is what I managed to give, not just to keep.
What have you given that still today goes on having an effect on someone else?
How it is calculated
Only the consonants of your full birth name are kept.
Each one is given its value following the order of the alphabet, those values are added together, then reduced to a single digit, except 11, 22 and 33, which are kept.
The consonants are taken as the visible part of the name — what is heard first. That is why this number describes the impression you make rather than what you feel.

A worked example
Take the name MARIA MENDES. Only the consonants are kept.
M 4 · R 9 · M 4 · N 5 · D 4 · S 1
Added together, that gives 27, then 2 + 7 = 9 — personality number 9.
