About This Quiz
Human beings are wired to see patterns. We inherited this from our ancestors, to whom the ability to recognize the difference between tall grass and a lion was an essential survival skill. It took humans thousands of years to conceptualize mathematics, and the discipline fit neatly into our ability to see patterns because math is full of patterns. Our ability to see patterns and predict outcomes from those patterns is the reason we figured out math ahead of cats, who will one day and take over the world.
When you give all patterns equal weight, it's easy to make the switch from mathematics as pure science to numerology. Numbers have a purity about them, and when you notice something like the Fibonacci Sequence, it's not far to jump to using the Atbash Cipher to decode "predictions" from the Hebrew Bible. Numerology has been applied in countless ways from just about every culture in the world, and even a lot of modern metrics for determining insights about people, from social media algorithms that try to predict how to advertise to people by measuring how long they look at photos of friends, to word clouds that attempt insights about public opinion by the prevalence of certain nouns. We even have our own numerology test. Take it, and we'll guess what kind of lover you are!
