The name of Ballou creates a dual nature in that you can be very generous and understanding, but you can also be so candid in your expression that you create misunderstanding. When you are happy and giving, you have a charming personality, you make friends easily, and would go to great lengths to help someone in need. Often you do the things you like to excess and, as a result, you wear yourself out. Overtaxing your nervous system by being under too much pressure brings about your temperamental reactions. Difficulty in accepting advice or admitting that you may have made a mistake causes you to appear to be stubborn and set in your ways. Independence and freedom of action mean a great deal to you; therefore, you enjoy positions where you are giving instructions rather than taking them. You appreciate mental exploration into new ideas. You dislike monotony. If you allowed it, temper and self-pity could be problems. This quality can spoil friendships and create losses in the affections.
