Your name of Piersten gives you a strong urge for independence. You will not tolerate dominance by others because your freedom means too much to you. Yet, when they get to know you, they realize you are loyal in friendships and would go to any length to help someone in need. A physically active person, you have an appreciation for outdoor recreation, which you prefer to pursue on your own or with one or two close friends who share the same affinity for the peace of nature and the physical challenges it provides. You stick stubbornly to your ideas or decisions, in spite of any appeals or advice; you are not willing to accept a compromise. Usually, you would prefer to develop your own business or to work for someone who appreciates your strengths and personal qualities. Although you realize perfectly well what is expected of you, you are unable to find the right words, and hence you end up saying something inappropriate in a candid way. Neither sentimental nor idealistic, you take life as it comes and learn as you go. You work best where you can combine physical labour and prefer to work where you can spend time outdoors. There is originality and depth of thought contained in this name, particularly along practical and mathematical lines.
