What is your Chinese Element & Zodiac?


Recommended Posts

Element personality quizzes featuring various elements are very popular, but the 5 Chinese elements of Wood, Water, Metal, Fire, and Earth belong to their own cycle and are specifically personality-related pertaining to Chinese lore. Each has a certain set of characteristics, and most people's personalities are ruled by one of the five elements. You can learn more about them on many other sites.

 

Depending on what you guys have been doing on the web or elsewhere you may already know what your Chinese Element is (in which case you can just post it), but if you don't know it you can take a quiz here to find out:

It works on a different principle than most personality quizzes, just check off all the traits from each that are true about you and the one with the highest score is the element that is dominant over you.

 

As for the Chinese Zodiac, that is a 12 animal cycle based on the year you were born in, so if you don't know it just look it up.

 

In any case, once you know both, post them here.

 

I was born in 1988 so my Chinese Zodiac is Dragon (almost Snake though). As for my element:

 

Dear Joseph,

Here are your results:

 

WOOD ARCHETYPE: The Pioneer.............................. 10

FIRE ARCHETYPE: The Wizard.................................... 7

EARTH ARCHETYPE: The Peacemaker......................... 5

METAL ARCHETYPE: The Alchemist.............................. 9

WATER ARCHETYPE: The Philosopher......................... 16

 

Keys To Understanding Water:

• articulate, clever, and introspective

• self-contained and self-sufficient

• penetrating, critical, and scrutinizing

• seeks knowledge and understanding

• likes to remain hidden, enigmatic, and anonymous

 

Typical Problems:

• emotionally inaccessible and undemonstrative

• isolation and lonelines

• tactless, unforgiving, and suspicious

• hardening of the arteries, deterioration of teeth and gums

• backache, chilliness, loss of libido

 

Yep, this is pretty much me. How ironic, I am water in both the Greek element quizzes I've tried as well as Chinese element!

 

EDIT: I actually only skimmed through it the first time and didn't check off everything I could have, so now I've done it more carefully, Water is still in the lead though.

Fire

 

Keys To Understanding Fire:

• relishes excitement and delights in intimacy

• believes in the power of charisma and desire

• loves sensation, drama, and sentiment

• likes to be hot, bright, and vibrant

The power of Fire comes from the capacity to liberate heat and light and realize joy and fulfillment. Fire types need to temper their chemistry and contain their fervor, conserving as well as sharing their resources, withdrawing and separating as well as embracing and merging.

 

That's totally me!

Um, I think it was a play on words based on the fact that wooden and steel (metal) are types of rollercoasters. Not too perceptive, are we?

 

I'm a Metal Monkey by birth, fairly equal Wood & Water by this quiz!

 

And still a monkey. I've been considering getting the monkey symbol tatooed on me, actually.

A Friendly Reminder:

The power of Wood comes from the capacity to rapidly expand

and build up pressure. Wood types need to modulate their intensity and stay flexible, to be able to retreat and yield as well as surge forward and be undaunted.

 

 

So very true!
