Now, total all
the a's, b's, c's and d's. Put the in order by the
highest to the lowest number. The highest is your primary element- the
natural you - for right now. It can change through the years. Don't
look down any further until you have taken the questionnaire!!!!!!
FIRE

AIR
---------

EARTH
Highest A's is
the element -
Fire-
Intuitive
-idealistic/spiritual
Highest B's is
the element - Air-
Thinking-rational
Highest C's is

Feeling-emotional
Highest D's is

Fire is
opposed to Earth
and
Air
is opposed to
Water.
You
will usually (not always) find that your weakest element is the one
that is opposed to your primary. I suppose that ones life ambition would
be to try to balance/develop all elements. This comes with growth/age.
