Characteristics of the five elements

Water: Solitude, privacy, introspection, philosophy, mystery, truth, honesty, anxiety, nervousness, insecurity. (Images: Black, Night, Winter)

Wood: Leadership, assertiveness, creativity, planning, decision-making, competitiveness, conflict, anger, frustration. (Images: Green, Morning, Spring)

Fire: Self-expression, emotional extremes, empathy, extrovert, attention-seeking, sociable, talkative. (Images: Red, Mid-day, Midsummer)

Earth: Caring, supportive, nourishing, family-oriented, stability, grounding, "mother hen", worrier. (Images: Yellow, Afternoon, Late summer)

Metal: Precise, meticulous, logical, analytical, moderation, self-control, morality, tendency to pessimism (Images: White, Evening, Autumn)

So, which element are you? What category do you fit into? After reading the article on the link, do you agree with the Chinese element theory? Why? Whynot? Do things like these interest you?

Me, because of mere interest, I do a lot of research on them, and take many quizzes. My elements are Fire and Water, and have always been. I'm going to have to agree on the theory, only because of personal experience.

My element would be water and metal , and i do agree with the theory because of personal experience and my personality.

lol, so you are a pessimist then, hmm? Well, being precise at things is good too. Water and Fire express my personality both. Which is why I am both elements instead of one. I'm mainly fire though. I had to take a test on it in dance class, which is what got me interested in the whole thing. But I must say I do agree. It makes sense to me.

Well im more of a water person solitude, privacy, mystery, truth, honesty, anxiety, nervousness, insecurity best describes my personality the best,but metal also describes me to precise, meticulous, logical are also say some thing about me.Also why do u agree

Hmmmmmm....... maaaaaaayyyyybeeeee.... like 80%? maybe. (Images: Red, Mid-day, Midsummer)

As I said, the reasons behind the elements make sense to me. They define a person thoroughly. Examples are you, me, and many others who will come upon this thread. Most who I know agree with the elements' characteristics. So I'd say they are pretty accurate.

Well my elements would be earth and metal. These two elements seem to describe me the most and i've based it on personality and experiences. Out of my friendship group at school i'm dubbed the 'mother' because i'm apparently seen as caring and always concerned for other.
In a way, i like to be logical but not all the time. I have a lot of self-control which i'm proud of.

I don't think i have a reason to believe this theory or not to believe it. Only i think it just interested in this, thus doesn't mean i have to believe in this theory.

Well, I guess that would make me a water-wood guy, like a swamp I guess.

*blue_rebel* · Mar 07, 2007, 05:34 AM

Haha, a swamp?

So being a combination of all five would make me something of a... a mining pool on fire?

After reading through the five elements,I posess some of the qualities of all elements except Earth.
Water: Solitude,privacy,philosophy,anxiety,nervousness
Wood: Anger,frustration,planning
Fire: Empathy
Metal: Self Control(to some degree),tendency to pessimism,morality(to some degree as well).
But i reckon to improve my character,i need to posess all those qualities and i am going to work on those area by experience.

*blue_rebel* · Mar 07, 2007, 11:56 PM

Wait. You would like to possess ALL those qualities? Not all of them are good, you know. >__>
