Which Element Are You? Take the Four Elements Personality Quiz

In this post and this one, I talked about the difficulties I had with the original quiz I had made. Well, my second attempt is finally complete! Read on to see what I learned and how you can take the quiz, yourself.

Revising the Four Elements Quiz

Whew! I worked hours and hours and hours on revising this quiz.

I had an understanding of the elements that kept bumping up against the way the quiz was written.

Every time Earth came up, I'd say, "No...this is Water." Then I'd second-guess myself because ChatGPT kept insisting it belonged to Earth. 

So I found myself trusting the description in front of me more than the inner knowing I'd had for years.

Eventually I went digging through old notes I'd written two decades ago, and there it was. The Water I'd remembered all along.

My Four Elements Quiz Results

So I took the quiz again and there was a surprise!

Do you remember that one reason I wanted to rework the quiz was that I had a primary element (Water, at the time) but felt called to the result for Spirit? Well, we created the quiz and I decided to exclude Spirit and focus instead on the western understanding of the 4 elements, not the five.

And I had suspected that I would eventually find out that I was Air, because it was close to what we had written for Spirit. But that's not what happened.

My primary element is still - WATER! And it's my secondary that is Air 

​Which element feels like home? Which one takes over when you’re afraid? Which one have you mistaken for a need because it is your oldest coping strategy? Which one comforts you? Which one challenges you? And which one feels like the woman you are becoming? - ChatGPT

​The Water & Air Pairing

Water and Air feel like they are who I am becoming.

The way I was living was strengthening my Air so much that I assumed it was my primary element.
​
But now, I need to think more in terms of how my Air can support my Water. And how Water expresses itself through my Air. 
​

​​Air is wonderful at finding the path. Left to itself, though, it would walk me right past home in pursuit of one more answer. Or finishing one more thing.

Water is the one that takes my hand and says, "Let's stop here for a while," and brings me tea, and starts the movie.
​

The Takeaway

Sometimes we don't lose ourselves because we've changed. We lose ourselves because the way we've been living no longer reflects who we're becoming.

And it's my hope that when you take the quiz, you will not only discover who you are, but what you need and how to give that to yourself.

See you next time!
