# Points of Intensity calculator

Points of Intensity are the numbers your name carries more often than an average name does. They show the qualities you lean on most, and the full count shows your name's whole make-up.

## How Points of Intensity are found

1. Give every letter of your full birth name its Pythagorean value.
2. Count each number from 1 to 9.
3. Compare each count with the average for a full name:

| Number | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Average count | 3 | 1 | 2 | 1 | 4 | 2 | 1 | 1 | 3 |

Every number that appears more often than its average is a Point of Intensity.
