We read every number through one method: Vedic Numerology (Ank Jyotish). Number 3 is ruled by Jupiter (Brihaspati / Guru), and that graha shapes its whole story.

The reading of 1 to 9 as personality types is a modern study, set down in the early 20th century and given its Indian, planet-based form by later writers.[1][2][4]
