N-Things Meme: Elements

[sandmantv]

I keep talking about a certain elemental mapping scheme a lot, assuming everyone shared this cultural vision. Apparently there’s a lot of disagreement about what the various mapping schemes are, and I may be rather an outlier. So, here’s by best attempt to put it into words for future reference.

I've never really identified strongly with any of these. Sometimes I feel air-like, sometimes I feel fire-like, or water-like. But the funny thing is, I do identify strongly with the chinese element of Wood. Like, really strongly. The themes are exploration, growth, healing, and creativity, among others.

Interesting. After reading this is kind of makes sense why I scored higher for air and water than earth and fire. I'm pretty indecisive, non-confrontational, and my personality can change a lot depending on my context. I was never really sure if that was just true about everyone, or if it was more true of me than others. It's impossible to be objective about. I did score slightly higher as air than water, but I kind of wonder if that was just because there weren't that many questions. The conversations between water and air in particular make me feel more like water than air, but who knows.
