The Five Element Theory utilized in Chinese Medicine stems from ancient Chinese philosophy.
The five elements are symbolic for the different phases, or primal forces within the universe, nature, and our bodies. Each element is also attributed to a certain personality archetype. Knowing which element(s) predominates our personalities can help further insight into our lives and relationships.​

The Five Element Personality Questionnaire is extracted and used with permission from "Between Heaven and Earth", written by Harriet Beinfield & Efrem Korngold.​






My results:

Dear moira,
Here are your results:

WOOD ARCHETYPE: The Pioneer.............................. 7
FIRE ARCHETYPE: The Wizard.................................... 7
EARTH ARCHETYPE: The Peacemaker......................... 7
METAL ARCHETYPE: The Alchemist.............................. 15
WATER ARCHETYPE: The Philosopher......................... 18

Water

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

A Friendly Reminder:
The power of Water comes from the capacity to conceive, concentrate, and conserve. Water types need to offset their toughness, bluntness, and detachment with tenderness, sensitivity, and openness, risking softness and contact, exposure and attachment.

Understanding your results:
The element with the highest score reflects your primary personality type. It is possible for some people to have 2-3 primary elements. It is important to remember that it is not the score that counts, but the relation between the scores.

Keys To Understanding Fire:
• relishes excitement and delights in intimacy
• keenly intuitive and passionately empathetic
• believes in the power of charisma and desire

• anxiety, agitation, and frenzy
• bizarre perceptions
• nervous exhaustion and insomnia
• palpitations, sweating, hypoglycemia, rashes, palsy
nerve inflammations, migratory pain

A Friendly Reminder:
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.
