The 5 Elemental Energy
Personality Profiles

Knowing your top 2 energies goes a long way towards figuring out what makes you tick, as they influence the bulk of your personality traits.

​

In the chart below find the combination of your top 2 energies, by finding the highest energy on the left side and the second highest energy on the top.  Also check out the reverse of that with the second highest energy on the left and the highest on the top and see which combination resonates with you more.

​

If you are unsure which energy is stronger than another in your energy profile, then try the following rule of thumb based on the overall strength of each energy as found in the world today:

​

Wood is the strongest energy in the world today

Fire is the second strongest

Earth is the third strongest

Metal is the fourth strongest

Water is the weakest energy in the world today

​

So, for example, if the quizzes show that you are high in both Wood and Earth but your not sure which one is strongest for you, lean towards Wood since it is a stronger energy in the world today.

Every person is a unique energy expression.  And while there are a multitude of factors that go into your personality expression, even within the context of the 5 Elemental Energies, below you will find a simplified "nutshell" explanation of each 5 Energy Personality Profile based on the main motivating energies.

​

They are organized by Primary-Secondary energy combinations.  And since the quizzes are not 100% definitive, it also may be worthwhile to check out the personality profiles using your Secondary as your Primary type and your Primary Type as your secondary and see how that resonates with you.
