Contradictions and questions

The numbers analysis a couple of posts down is fairly accurate, in a broad sense, and most numerology 'tests' I've done return similar results. E posted a link to Paul Sadowski, and my birthday analysis on there was mostly the same. However, I then had a look at what my name numbers said...

There are 16 letters in your name.
Those 16 letters total to 80
There are 6 vowels and 10 consonants in your name.

Your number is: 8

The characteristics of #8 are: Practical endeavors, status oriented, power-seeking, high-material goals.

The expression or destiny for #8:
Your Expression is represented by the number 8. The 8 Expression is well-equipped in a managerial sense. You have outstanding organizational and administrative capabilities. You have the potential for considerable achievement in business or other powerful positions. You can expect to receive the financial and material rewards. You have the skill and abilities to establish or operate a business with great efficiency. You have good judgment when it comes to money and commercial matters, and you understand how to build and accumulate material wealth. Much of your success (or lack of it) may come due to your ability (or inability) to judge character. With the number 8 Expression, you exercise sound judgment in most of your affairs; you are realistic and practical in your approach to business matters.

The positive 8 Expression produces individuals that are very ambitious and goal-oriented. If the 8 energy is not in excess in your makeup, you will no doubt express these traits to some extent. No one has any more energy that a person with the 8 Expression who has a plan laid and is starting to work. No one has any more self-confidence, either. If you are expressing the positive qualities of 8, you are an outstanding manager because you can plan, initiate, and complete projects; you are very dependable and determined.

As it always happens, there can be too much of a good thing. If you have too much of the 8 energy in your makeup, you may express some of the negative attitudes. A negative 8 can be very rigid and stubborn. Ambition sometimes has a way of becoming over-ambition, and you may express an unreasonable impatience with the lack of progress. If your negative side is showing, you may be too exacting, both of yourself and of others. Sometimes this can even becomes a case of intolerance.

The number 8 is very materialistic and also very desirous of status and power. Neither of these drives are inherently negative unless they are taken to an extreme. You must avoid the tendency to strain after money, material matters, status, or power, to the detriment of the other important factors in your life.

Most of the above is not like me at all, and is contradicted (overruled?) by the next section/s.

Your Soul Urge number is: 7

A Soul Urge number of 7 means:
With a number 7 Soul Urge you are very fond of reading, and retreating to periods of being alone and away from the disruptions of the outer world. You like to dream and develop you idealistic understandings, to study and analyze, to gain knowledge and wisdom. You may be too laid back and withdrawn to really succeed in the business world, and you will be much more comfortable in circumstances that are tolerant of your reserve, your analytical approach, and your desire to use your mind rather than your physical being.

You are very timid around people that you don't know very well, so much so at times that casual conversation and social situations can be strained. You tend to repress your emotions to the extend that some people have a good bit of difficult understanding you. You tend to be very selective with friends and you don't easily adapt to new environments or to new people very quickly.

The negative traits of the 7 include becoming too much the introvert and isolated from others.

Your Inner Dream number is: 1

An Inner Dream number of 1 means:
You dream of being a leader and one who is in charge. You want to be known for your courage, daring, and original ideas. You seek unconquered heights. People may get a first impression that you are very aggressive and sure of yourself.

Obviously, there are more than 366 different types of people in the world, but the majority of people who do these types of numbers analysis things say they're a fair representation of their broad 'self'. I'm wondering though, how much of who we are is what we're born with, and how much of it is a result of experience, environment and other factors, like health etc.

The other question is, if these are as indicative of peoples' personalities, traits, etc, then how many people are actually doing the things they're supposedly best equipped to do, and how many people would if they could, but think they can't (for any number of reasons). If not, why not? The theory is that the more you enjoy what you do, the more you'll earn, because it's less of a chore/job. So why's that so hard to achieve?

I think it's the first 10 years of 'doing what you love and not making money at it' is what gets people. Isn't it usually when you do something you love, it doesn't make you any money? (I am just assuming the 10 year rule as I've never been able to do anything I loved for 10 years because I couldn't pay my rent). I don't know if that makes any sense!
