ESL L5: Chinese Five Elements

Wednesday, September 22, 2010


Water, Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal

Today we began our exploration of the Chinese art of using five elements to identify one's personality.

I found a more detailed Five Element Personality Test. I think you should take this, because it has many, many excellent vocabulary words for you to describe someone's personality. It is a great way to test your knowledge. For each word you need to look up in your dictionary, make a flashcard, or enter it in your Vocabulary Notebook. Here is more information about each personality type.

For the record I took the test. Here are my results:

Fire 20 %
Water 25 %
Wood 22 %
Earth 7 %
Metal 24 % 



I found another test with a lot of additional vocabulary for you. My results were:
Wood Archetype: The Pioneer.............................. 8
Fire Archetype: The Wizard.................................... 16
Earth Archetype: The Peacemaker......................... 7
Metal Archetype: The Alchemist.............................. 11
Water Archetype: The Philosopher......................... 14


My results are a bit varied but taking into consideration my class results (Water/Metal), it is safe to say I am quite strong in Water and Metal. I would have to do more analysis to determine how Fire and Wood play into my personality.

ESL L5: What is Your Personality?

Monday, September 20, 2010

Are you an early riser or a night owl? Are you someone who thinks outside of the box or do you prefer to be led by another? Are you a risk-taker or a go-getter? Would you rather be surrounded by books or by people?

A common test to analyze your personality is the Jungian-Myers Briggs Personality Test. I took this version of the test and these were my results:

My Type is: 
INFJ
Introverted/Intuitive/Feeling/Judging
Strength of the preferences %: 44/75/62/22

Qualitative analysis (meaning: narrative statistics) of my type formula
I am:
  • moderately expressed introvert
  • distinctively expressed intuitive personality
  • distinctively expressed feeling personality
  • slightly expressed judging personality
Take the test if you would like and bring the results to class to share!
