People with fire-based personalities are more the “dumb ones” in society; in the sense that they act on impulse and are generally speaking more aggressive and/or involved in aggressive, hostile situations. They’re more prone to being fond of for example firearms and related. Beneficially, these people are courageous and capable of doing rough, dirty work and work that is generally speaking disgusting by others’ standards. They possess minimal levels of intelligence and as mentioned earlier are more active and impulsive. They can be temperamental, prideful/proud, hilarious and possess tremendous levels of energy naturally speaking. Their shortcomings are that they tend to be overly aggressive to the point where they are a thorn in the eyes of others, more prone to violence, drama queens, make a point of little things, want to keep going when everyone else just wants to “take a breather” etc.
People with earth-based personalities also have a tendency to be dumb, but in a different way than their fire counterparts; they are more simplistic in nature and prefer to keep things simple in an almost animalistic or feral sense. They do not like complexity and prefer the opposite. They’re down to earth, hard-working, stable, detailconscious, craftsmanlike etc. beneficially. The drawback of these kind of people is that they are or can be stubborn, too dumb to understand something, rigid in mentality, too serious & melancholic etc. Hardworking CEOs that rarely smile and employees that work/commit to heavy blue-collar style labor and long shifts are examples. Negatively as mentioned before, they can come off as if they have a stick up their ass or act like a typically grumpy grandparent.
People with air-based personalities are the thinkers and intellectuals of society; for them, life is all about figuring out what makes things tick and how everything works, in miniscule detail. It’s all about figuring out what the laws of the universe are and the patterns in it as a means of gaining a better understanding of it all and all things, with all the benefits that come along with it- science, pharmaceuticals, math, engineering, physics, and so on the name a few (obviously including the occult, duh). And now for the drawbacks; these kinds of people generally speaking lack overall willpower and mental strength and they are seen in general by the fire style people as the weaklings in society, the typical high school nerd to be bullied etc. Beneficially they can connect well with people in terms of building tight-knit bonds and understanding their point of view, which makes it so that they are more prone to being approached for deep-seated conversations, entrusted with sensitive information etc. & have an easier time socializing and utilizing technology. Adversely, they are more prone to mental erraticness and illnesses when under immense pressure & can have difficulties being stable and consistent.
People with water-based personalities are the most flexible amongst all; they are highly emotional and very fluid, not to mention adaptable to situations. They are the best at making adjustments here and there, being versatile and persevering. They can also be the most mentally healthy amongst all, either naturally or through conditioning of oneself. They are also prone to dealing well with money and finances of all kinds. The drawbacks of being them is that they are highly prone to deceptiveness, emotional and mental instability that in the extremist of cases then mound into insanity outright, not to mention being very clandestine / secretive for no specific reason.
Fire and Earth personalities benefit men better or more in general, whereas for women Air and Water are more complementary.
Lastly, keep in mind that obviously mixtures are quite commonplace and can potentially even be the norm (there is no census that I’m aware of for measuring that); people are a hodgepodge and mixture of all the aforementioned personalities, but on occasion you’ll come across someone that has dominancy in one or more areas. I’ve come across a man that had a dominant water influence for example & another one that had a dominant fire influence.
