Your name of Hallvard has made you good-natured, friendly, and kind. There is a serious side to your nature in that you care about people and have a sense of responsibility to help them. Since you do not want to offend, you are prone to back away from confrontations and arguments for the sake of maintaining the peace. Once settled in a responsible position, whether it be in institutional work or the business world, you are content to remain there fulfilling your role by serving others, sometimes sacrificing your own opportunities. Although not an aggressive person, you are earnest in carrying out your responsibilities. Frequently you put off decisions and tasks until forced to take action. As you appreciate the pleasures of life, discipline and self-restraint are challenges for you. However, you may worry over decisions concerning both yourself and others. You do not like strenuous activities, preferring socializing and relaxing. Others can, at times, take advantage of your gentle nature.
