Names that begin with the letter S usually imply a sassy, sexy, slinky, sensual, and stylish personality. But when the letter S comes into close contact with the triumphant, talented and tightly-wound letter T, it creates the steadfast and strong masculine tones found in the words: stable, steely, stiff, stark, statue, stony, strict, stubborn and stoic. The letter N, on the other hand, is the symbol of all things negative (no, not, never, nyet, nada, naught, nix, and nothing) and usually intimates some aspect of pessimism. It could be said that the successes of STN people come not from any great inner drive, but from a pervasive (if unfounded) fear of failure.
When it comes to choosing between their heads or their gut instincts, STNs will almost always rely on their heads. It’s not that they’re not intuitive; it’s just that when you have such a canny intelligence, it makes sense to trust it. And STNs have a work ethic that would put Jimmy Carter to shame; not only are they some of the most creative and intelligent individuals you could hope to meet, but they seem determined to make everyone take notice by taking on projects and problems that others consider to be intractable.
If there’s a flaw in the STN’s old-fashioned work ethic, it’s that he tends to take himself a little too seriously. Even though he's not the controlling type, the STN isn’t the kind of man who functions well under someone else’s direction. If he’s going to succeed, it’ll be from the sweat of his own brow, and egged on by his refusal to accept the ignominy of broken commitments.
While many STNs make their mark as entrepreneurs, artists, and scientists, most function well in careers that reward attention to detail. But if you have a project that demands immediate action, you might not want your STN employee to take control: he’s simply too detail-oriented to do things in a hurry. Perhaps this is why STNs are so rarely found in positions of dynamic leadership.
Romantic life to the STNs must sometimes seem like a mystery. While no one would accuse them of being insensitive, they’re not known for their powers of observation when it comes to human behavior. The emotions they understand; it’s the nuances that get them tangled up. So while he might realize that his wife is upset, he’ll need the reasons to be blown up to projector size before he’s able to do anything about it. If you’re going to be married to a STN, you’ve either got to be incredibly patient, or really not care whether the toothpaste cap is on the tube. Still, the STN is one of the most reliable mates you’re going to find (among people with S names) and his mate will never want for attention or affection.
