Your name of Balchin has formed an independent, positive, and determined personality. It is difficult for you to visualize or theorize unless the ideas being presented are developed in a logical step-by-step manner. It is what you can see, experience, and prove through compilation of facts, experiment, and logic that has greatest value to you. In personal relationships, it is hard for you to express the appreciation and compliments that mean so much to some people. You are rather skeptical of new ideas that are more visionary, idealistic, or philosophical. With training and experience you could be inventive in these fields. You are not easily influenced by the opinions of others, who may accuse you of being stubborn. You are a realist with interests in mathematics and technical or scientific fields. Also, your fondness for heavier foods could affect the intestinal organs causing problems with elimination and, in severe cases, ulcers or growths. Despite your loyalty to friends, your communication at times is stilted, too candid, and frank.
