The name of Shank creates a shrewd, aggressive, business nature, intent on personal gain. Appearances and status are important to you. On the other hand, you can be very charitable and generous in your support of worthwhile causes. However, you do have an aptitude for assessing the skills, strengths, and weaknesses of others, which would enable you to build and lead a successful team. Circumstances requiring the expression of sympathy, encouragement, or appreciation cause you to feel awkward and at a loss for words. You have definite executive and leadership abilities, however others may find you to be rather forceful and uncompromising. There is a need to project yourself as a person of worth and expensive tastes, and you judge others on the same basis. You would sacrifice much for material ambition with the result that other aspects of your life could suffer, such as personal relationships and appreciation for social courtesies and things of a more inspirational nature. If you sacrifice too much for material ambition, there may result a lack of harmony and balance in your personal life. Also the generative organs could be an area of weakness.
