HAFEEZ

There is a strong sense of family, community, tradition, and responsibility running through the name Hafeez. This has almost certainly been a powerful tool for survival and success for generations because your people were more likely than most to continue the work of their parents and grandparents. When several generations focus their energy on the same goal, it increases the likelihood of success for following generations.

This same caring nature may have meant some of your ancestors were generous to a fault, even gullible. Although this may have impacted them materially, they were likely highly regarded, loved, and respected in their communities.

Perhaps the most influential force that led many of your ancestors toward political and religious roles was a desire to bring stability and peace. A few may have had leadership roles, but most probably worked behind the scenes, using diplomacy to influence (and sometimes manipulate) those in power. Although they were not aggressive people, many would have been skilled negotiators who might not have been above spying or using misinformation to obtain results.

The name Hafeez suggests there may have been quite a few judges, lawyers, and scientists among them.

Many of your forebears had their feet firmly planted in reality. They tended to be grounded and careful, and more often than not managed to stay out of the line of fire, often without compromising their beliefs. In general, they were a sturdy lot, strong and brave, and yet they probably chose farming over soldiering. The strength that carried them through many generations was founded in a powerful sense of belonging. An underlying feeling that "all is right with the world," is reflected in the kind of self-confidence that cannot be taught. This confidence likely inspired others to confide in them and trust their advice.

Many of your ancestors were competitive, driven individuals. Some may have been quite aggressive.

Street-smart and goal-oriented. Your Hafeez ancestors would have done well in business, banking, government, the army, or as landowners/landlords.

The number in this area of your chart suggests a good many of your Hafeez ancestors were overly sensitive and affected by the expectations of others. Due to this tendency they may have suppressed themselves to avoid feeling conspicuous. They would have been more likely than others to be the target of gossip or false accusations, partly because they fit the role of victim. When faced with real or perceived criticism, many would have retreated rather than confront their accuser directly. In extreme cases, their hypersensitivity may have caused fear, timidity, and even paranoia.

At least some of your Hafeez forebears were likely to face this type of challenge, but it was also balanced by the positive traits that accompany being sensitive: high intuition, excellent negotiating skills, and a harmonious nature. They had an antenna for other people's hopes, feelings, and expectations - a trait good politicians are born with.

Test, it appears that you have little in common with this branch of your family tree. On a scale from 0 to 20, the compatibility rating with your Hafeez ancestors is between 0 and 5.

However, even when there are few similarities, those that exist can be important. For example, it is not uncommon for someone to have a career similar to their ancestors' in a branch they share little with otherwise. This may give the appearance of a close connection when, in fact, it is superficial. It is likely that your personal traits match a different branch of your family tree more closely. Keep in mind this comparison is a small part of your makeup; your full name at birth and your date of birth hold much more weight and offer considerably more insight into who you are.
