PERSONALITY TYPES

Both Coda and myself are hugely into assessing and dissecting personality types… understanding what they mean, and how they influences both an individual’s way of processing information and interacting with others. And so we thought it would be cool to just share each of our individual personality types that we have identified and discussed thus far, both to give the readers of this site a clearer picture of us overall, and in case any of them were interested in learning more about their own personalities!

… unfortunately there currently is no great “elemental personality test” out there as of yet. But you can potentially determine your own by knowing which qualities each element represents… and by knowing that the order they’re in matters. If you have a dual elemental type, the first element represents the way you generally think/feel, and the second element represents how you actually execute actions. I will also say that Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood is one of the single most comprehensive and fascinating delves into elemental personality types out there.
