How The Quiz Matches You

Each question has four answers, one for each element, and a couple of answers give points to two. The element with the most points is your main element, and your bars show your mix. Many people have a strong second element, such as fire with air (bold and inventive) or water with earth (caring and steady).

Where The Four Elements Come From

The idea that everything is made from four basic elements goes back to the Greek philosopher Empedocles in the 5th century BCE. Aristotle later added a fifth, aether, for the heavens. Similar systems appear in other cultures, such as the five elements (wood, fire, earth, metal, water) of Chinese philosophy and the elements of Hindu tradition.

The elements were also linked to personality. Ancient medicine connected them to the four humours and temperaments, and Western astrology groups the zodiac signs into fire, earth, air and water. Modern science replaced the four elements with the periodic table, but they live on as powerful symbols in stories, games and anime, from Avatar: The Last Airbender to many fantasy worlds.
