When the sassy letter S teams up with the tightly wound tones of the letter T, it evokes the steadfast and strong characteristics found in the words stable, steely, stiff, stark, statue, stony, strict, stubborn and stoic. Because these heavy-duty overtones are commonly associated with masculinity, most female STC names end with the high-pitched letters I, Y or IE, which creates the diminutizing effect found in the words: sunny, funny, silly, goofy, happy, zany and preppie.
STCs may not be known for their patience but their determination and willingness to take risks are legendary. These are people who work and play hard, and have learned that you can’t steal second when your foot is on first. STCs are straight shooters when it comes to their relationships too, and if there’s something about you that rubs them the wrong way, chances are you’ll know about it immediately. If you can’t handle their heat, stay away from their friction.
Still, STCs have no trouble making friends and can afford to be choosy when it comes to selecting intimate partners. If at first they seem to be somewhat aloof or indifferent, this is simply symptomatic of being such hard-driven perfectionists. As assertive as they are about their choices, STCs don’t see any great advantage to plunging into things without at least a little bit of research. They are particularly prudent when it comes to spending money and don’t live particularly flashy lives.
There are few careers for which STCs aren’t suited, and their biggest challenge often comes in deciding which one to choose. But STCs are wary about committing to jobs that don’t offer them long-term advancement, and many are found in design fields, legal maneuverings, and medicine fields. But what suits them best are positions in which they’re able to utilize their people-skills. More than most, STCs thrive on the tumult of human contact and know that success, without someone to share it, is as hollow as a pumpkin on Halloween.
STCs take less of an emotional approach to their relationships than they do an intellectual one, and potential mates will be carefully vetted against their internal list of specifications. This is consistent with the STCs’ need to maintain a high degree of control in their relationships, and – whether it’s for financial or emotional reasons –the success of many STC marriages will be as a result of their capable stewardship. Their primary goal will be to create an environment in which they can feel completely open and relaxed, and will return the favor with unconditional love and support.
