Which Chinese Element Matches Your Personality?

You’re flexible and easy-going, but are also very determined. You’re self-sufficient and don’t like to rely on others to get things done when you can do it yourself. People who are the water element are also very introspective and quiet, so your friends may think of you as enigmatic and mysterious. If you feel out of balance you can easily become timid and indecisive.

Fire types are passionate, energetic and charismatic. Fire types make great leaders because they’re able to inspire others. If you’re a fire type, you’re the life of the party and able to chat easily with others. Fire types love to be the center of attention, but if they’re not, they easily fall victim to some of their negative qualities such as anxiety and volatility.

You’re nurturing, reliable, grounded, and practical. Earth types are also known for being compassionate, empathetic, and thoughtful. Earth types hate conflict and desire harmony, so earth types use their ability to connect with others as a way to end arguments. Earth types can be prone to worry and, since they’re people pleasers, can be easily taken advantage of.

You like to analyze the world around you and use your keen intellect to solve problems. Metal types are also brave, methodical, and strive for perfection. Metal types don’t usually like to be in large groups, preferring to go it alone – although they may have a small group of close knit friends. If you’re a metal type you enjoy structure and try to keep people at a distance. You may also hold grudges against those who hurt you and can be materialistic.

You like to seek out challenges and new adventures. Wood types are competitive and driven. You tend to thrive under pressure, but can also get stressed if you feel out of balance. If you’re a wood type you may be irritable and get impatient easily.
