When the prudent letter P combines with the triumphant letter T, it creates vigorous words that orbit around the forceful themes of the words: kryptonite, capture, contempt, adept, potent, uptight, sculpt, and Baptist. Fortunately, these tightly wound effects are saved from testosterone overkill by the relaxed letter R, whose rolling contours infuse these names with a sense of paternal and protective wisdom.
The conflicting elements in the PTR names suggest personalities that encompass a spectrum of possibilities from the stern, to the playful, to the capricious. Though they might appear to be relatively uncomplicated on the surface, these all-American façades mask complex and multi-faceted personas. When you interact with PTRs, you’ll find that they are analysts at heart… looking at you from various angles and running subtle internal tests (which is why conversations with them can leave you feeling like a bit like a lab rat). But armed with the knowledge that PTRs are simply trying to deepen their understanding of their relationships, most friends will be tolerant of the PTR’s persistent probing.
A ravenous curiosity forms the basis for the PTR’s rich store of information, which they’re quite happy to share with others. For PTRs are natural teachers and, with strong feelings of responsibility towards their fellow man, prove to be wonderful counselors. This might take the form of frequent debates or gentle arguments, but it also subtly expresses itself in their dabblings in art and music.
PTRs would never tell you what you want to hear simply in the interests of making you an ally; these are honest, forthright people with strong moral compasses guiding them in all aspects of their mostly-triumphant lives. If things are going to go a little wonky in the PTRs’ day-to-day transactions, it’ll probably be a result of their inability to handle life’s finer details. These are big-picture people, and keeping track of their keys, wallets and paperwork simply isn’t on their priority lists. It might also explain why their closets and underwear drawers are so meticulously organized.
As mates, PTRs will weather all sorts of adverse conditions if it helps to keep their marriages alive. But there’s a fine line between stubbornness and blindness, one that the PTR precariously straddles even in the face of obviously impending failure, and many PTRs simply don’t know when to quit. But whether this stick-to-itiveness is an expression of constancy or simply hardheadness, no matter what the odds, PTRs are the kind of people to have in your corner when the chips are down.
