Your first name of Hal has made you a friendly, approachable, and generous person. You respond quickly to kind words or any appreciation shown you. You are very expressive and would excel in positions where you can meet the public. Generally you are good-natured, though at times you can be blunt and sarcastic. In your work, you find it difficult to be neat and orderly. You would not hesitate, however, to help a friend in need, despite your personal financial circumstances at the time. Having your independence curtailed can make you very obstinate and uncooperative. You desire to be happy and to create happiness for others. You rarely plan things ahead of time, or follow a routine. Emotion and feeling, the desire to be carefree, friendly, and happy, are the driving forces in your being, rather than shrewdness, ambition, and material success.
