"While I have won an argument or two, it is important to remember that this number refers to my likes and dislikes and my emotional approach to life. I suppose argumentative might be one approach... so one point for your effort."

OOC: Normally, I don't accept edited answers; however, since points are being given for this question based on effort and not on timing, I'm going to allow it.

And I think that your middle name also shows that teaching is something that is very close to your heart as well. It probably also means that you're never satisfied with the basic information, which means that you don't come to decisions easily and you require everyone around you to provide you with the fullest information as well."

Professor Shackleton nodded as Copernicus provided a fairly accurate assessment of her middle name. "Very nice summation of my likes and dislikes according to the number seven. Three points!"

Raising her hand, Anna said, "Professor Shackleton, you've always been really, really intelligent, and it says here that number seven's are 'intellectual, have inner wisdom, and are scientific-technological minded.' I'd say that pretty much sums you up. Emotionally, I think that means you are probably similar to me---you require a textbook solution to a lot of what you encounter in your life. Not necessarily a textbook solution, but even a proven, definite solution. If that really is how you feel, Professor, then don't worry---you are not alone," she assured, thinking how her own methods of thinking sometimes frustrated her. "According to this textbook, you're also a very private person, so I'd say you enjoy independent projects and alone time, and you dislike large crowds of people. Not only that, I see the word 'education' in here. I think that means you value your own education, as well as the education of others---obviously."

"You've certainly illuminated my likes and dislikes rather accurately in conjunction with the number seven. Emotionally, you're close, but not quite there. Three points."

“Um, let’s see,” Tobi mumbled, “Seven is ‘Analytical and Mystical’ well that kinda works for an Arithmancy professor, doesn’t it? There are a lot of things like, calculation, education, logic, reason, skeptical and while it doesn’t usually go along with metaphysical and occult mysteries, it sort of works when you put it together. I would take this to mean you like anything you can explain with facts or calculation and you don’t like things that you just have to accept or take someone’s word for it.

“As for your emotional approach, you rely less on your emotions and more on your senses, maybe?” He hoped that wasn’t insulting, even though she said she wouldn’t be, he hardly considered that guess flattering. “I mean, Pisces is an emotional Zodiac sign, but the Hermit is not an emotional card; it’s a card of wisdom, and guidance. Seven seems to be very level headed and not very ruled by their emotions, one of your key words is dignity, another is private; you probably don’t wear your emotions on your sleeve. So I guess while you’re not cold, you probably aren’t very ruled by your temper either.”

Tobi waited for her reaction. She had said she wouldn't be mad, but she hadn't said she wouldn't dock those bazillion points. Tobi wanted to keep those bazillion points.

Professor Shackleton's facial expression was one of excitement as Tobi perfectly described her emotional approach according to the numbers as no other student had yet done. "Wonderful explanation! Three points for that answer and another three points for volunteering to help me with my calculations on the board. You can have a seat now."

Professor Shackleton addressed the class, "With several of your classmates contributions, we've very well uncovered the information my middle name provides. Does anyone have any questions about the middle name assessment before we move on to last names?"

OOC: I have a mega-migraine, so I'm going to put the lesson on hold for tonight and will resume tomorrow. Thanks
