Your first name of Merritt has created contrasting qualities in your nature. Efficiency is critical to you, however, there are times when your over-exacting and meticulous ways create misunderstandings. You can be very analytical, exacting, and patient as long as there is a challenge holding your interest, such as in the field of computers with its technical challenge. You have an inquisitive, investigative mind and a curiosity about life, along with an interest in scientific matters. You desire change and varied experiences and you are capable in many areas, but you do not excel because of your scattering, impulsive desires. Challenges hold your interest, but once your interest wanes, you switch to something else, leaving your undertakings unfinished. In fact, you feel awkward and self-conscious when put in delicate situations, as you feel your inability to be as diplomatic as you should be. You must guard against becoming satirical and contemptuous, thereby creating bitter experiences in personal relationships. The intensity created by the use of this name creates stomach and intestinal disorders such as ulcers, growths, or constipation. Your first impressions of situations or people are usually accurate, although there are times when you are too naïve, causing you to trust people who then let you down.
