About This Quiz

Mother Nature, that all-encompassing concept of life on earth and even beyond it, makes things work by having all of her elements work together. And as human beings who are part of her care and employ, we have a duty to protect her and all the creatures underneath her care, too. Seeing that we are above all those beings, after all, it is but natural that we took care of each other.

However, sometimes, this is not the case. There are clashes, there are conflicts, and there are even wars. Why is that? Maybe that's because we are also motivated in different ways. Our true nature has different kinds of workings inside of us. What makes us tick? What makes us fight? What makes us take flight? Perhaps we are like one of the scientific elements that make Mother Nature work, even though sometimes, we don't work together as one.

Maybe it's because of the elements that guide our basic core. Maybe our core behaves like one of these elements, no matter how compounded they are, that's why we are who we are, and we do what we do. If you are familiar with the more "popular" elements in the periodic table, then let's see if one of these elements indeed resonates with your soul.

Keep your feet on the ground, take your fire, fly to the air, and go with the flow of this quiz!

When someone asks you to go out with them to have fun, can you be invited like this, at the drop of a hat?
Always! You know my number, so call me, definitely!
If I feel that they really need company for emotional support, then yeah, I'll go.
Sure, but I'll also have to check my schedule, just to be safe and sure I won't miss anything.
If I also need a break, why not?
Do you feel like you are a great company if set up on a blind date?
I am great company anytime, anywhere, so bring it on!
Well, it depends if we feel okay about each other, even if we don't know each other.
It depends on the date. If it's a waste of my time, I'll bow out immediately, but courteously.
I'll have to analyze if the situation is ok at the start, then I'll see where it goes from there.
Are you in touch with any social justice issues currently affecting society?
Not so much, busy with too many other things in life, you know...
Several, yes, and I try to help as much as I can.
Yes, I need to be updated to see how these issues affect me and my life.
Very much so. We should be aware of social issues, as they affect us all.

Do you consider yourself as a workaholic who prioritizes your job over other aspects of your life?
Sometimes, but if there's a party out there, hey, call me!
Whatever needs to get the job done, I'll do it first, to get it out of the way.
Guilty. I can be that sometimes, but only because I need to be financially secure in life.
I'm a fan of work/life balance, so there should be fun in there after a hard day's work.
Are you a "party hardy" kind of person?
Yes, to the max! You only live once, yo!
I can have fun, but I also need to rest.
If there's great food at that party, count me in!
Oh, that depends on my mood at the moment, so I'm not sure.
Would you say you are good at making money?
Hey, I'm already loaded. What's the need?
Some say that is my talent, so yes.
I know how, yes, but that's not really my priority sometimes.
Well, I can think of ways to make some, but I'll have to see what's in it for me, too.

Do you try your luck by joining raffles for prizes or the lotto?
I'm already lucky with what I have. What for?
Hey, why not! Extra money is always useful.
I see no logic in taking such chances and losing money in the process.
If I have spare change, sure, I can take a chance.
When something fails to work, what do you tend to do?
Look for the one responsible for the failure! Someone has to answer for it! Or heads will roll!
I'll try to understand why the person behind the failure didn't deliver, before doing anything further.
I'll go back to the drawing board and see what didn't work in the strategic plan, then reconfigure it to work better.
It just needs more time for this problem to be solved, so I'll plod on, and see what happens.
Do you like spending more time readings books or watching movies?
I'd rather party and go drinking with buddies! Or do something extreme!
I can like either, depending on my mood.
I'm easy. I like both, so this is not an issue.
I'm interested in certain genres of both books and films, so I can indulge.

Are you a beach person or a mountain climbing person?
I'm more of a city person, so pass.
I like mountain air better, but I can just camp out at the bottom or gaze at the mountain range from a distance.
I'm more in touch with the bodies of water, so beach bum it is!
I like both, and I've done both! So I'm good anywhere!
Would you consider yourself a progressive when it comes to politics?
Only if something works to my favor, of course. Guns, goons, and something flashy, right?
Yes, as I believe politics should serve the people, first and foremost, not greedy politicians.
It depends on what kind of politics are involved in the situation, so I have to weigh in more carefully before I decide.
As long as there are good results, yes, I will be progressive about things in this sector.
Are you one to jump into conclusions hastily?
Sometimes, yes. But hey, there's a reason for it!
No, because I calmly look at the situation first, before jumping to any conclusion.
Sometimes yes, sometimes no, because the result of things is always borne out of planning, whether improper or proper. So that's what I have to assess.
Oh, sometimes, yes, depending on how I feel at the moment about the issue at hand.

If someone asks for your help on something, what would you do?
I'll have to see if my schedule is not busy... and see what's in it for me.
Of course. There's a reason why they approached me, so I must have a solution I could offer.
I'll help them analyze the situation for them, even provide a great strategy, but they have to solve the problem themselves.
I'll try to help to the best of my abilities.
Do you sympathize with your friends who are having some problems?
I'd rather distract them and bring them out to drink or have fun.
Yes, because I feel what they feel, so I'll gladly lend my ear and shoulder to cry on if needed.
Yes, they can rely on me, and maybe I can help them solve the problem later on.
Yes of course, but also, that depends if I'm feeling good myself at the moment, so let's see.
Do you surround yourself only with people who like you?
That's my default! Who needs naysayers!
I'd rather surround myself with people who understand me.
No. I can be with people who like and dislike me. I'm solid about who I am, so that's their issue, not mine.
Well, that feels much better when you're also co-workers or living together, right? So why not?

If someone asks to borrow some money from you, how would you react?
Oh sorry, I blew all of mine in last night's bar-hopping binge.
I'll try to understand why the person needs the money first, then I'll see what I can do.
I worked hard for my money, so they better work hard for theirs. Sorry, not a believer of loans.
I'll see if it's a reasonable amount, then I have to weigh on things first before saying yes.
Do you fancy yourself a good lover?
Oh heck yeah! I'm golden that way!
I can be when needed, sure.
Slow but steady, I work towards sensuality. So yes, I am, truly.
I can be the take charge one, or the submissive one, so this depends on the partner at hand.
Do you perform well when you're working on a team, or do you prefer to go it alone?
I can be the boss of others, but they better obey me, or else!
I'm good at finding other people's strengths to work with, for a harmonious result.
I am great either way, because I create a strategic plan of action in any situation.
I'm fine any way. I can get my part of the job done anyway, whether solo or in a team.

Would you rather spend a quiet night at home, or going out to new places with friends?
Going out is so much fun! Let's dance!
It depends on my mood at the moment, because I like to brood sometimes.
I'm a fan of both, but I'd rather stay home most times since I already have everything I need there.
I like some balance in life, so I can have a little of both, depending on the situation at hand.
Are you in touch with what's going on in the news, especially about your community?
I keep tabs on the newest hot spots in town!
Yes, and I monitor if there is any injustice happening there as well.
If it affects my work life immensely and my home life directly, I need to be!
Sure, I tune in from time to time.
If someone weaker than you gets bullied, what would you do?
Oh, boo hoo. They should toughen up, so as not to get bullied!
I will defend the bullied one and confront the bully. That's not a good thing to do!
I'll be a referee and split the fight. But I have no patience with bullies, so they better explain themselves!
That's a problem! I'll help solve the bullying issue because no one should be treated that way.

If you and your good friend suddenly find yourselves on the opposite fences regarding a political issue, what's your reaction to that situation?
I couldn't care less about that. If they're great party buddies, that's all that matters!
If their beliefs trample on basic human rights, then sorry, the friendship has to go.
It only shows their true colors. Be strategic about it, and I can draw the line if needed.
I'll have to weigh in more carefully about this, because I need to analyze why they think that way.
How do you deal with heartbreak?
Well, I cause them, not receive them, so... Sorry, I know my worth, folks!
I'll be an emotional wreck! I feel too much, that's why.
Grieve a little, then move on. No sense in dwelling in the past. Be more practical. Better things to do out there, so go to it!
Sometimes it's very sad, sometimes, it's very upsettingly maddening. Depends on my mood.
If you find yourself running low on funds, what would you do?
That will never happen. I'm always loaded!
Working pro bono is okay sometimes, as there will be a kind soul who will help later on.
That will never happen. Financial security is something I have always prepared for, so there's something to use for rainy days.
Maybe I'll ask my parents for a loan, or maybe not, or perhaps I'll see where I can get more money, or maybe I'll wait for new work stuff to happen, not yet sure.

Do you always want your will to be followed, whether at work or at home?
Of course! Always.
There should be amicable consensus, so as not to hurt anyone's feelings.
Only when I know that it's part of the plan, and if that's what is needed for the plan to work, so be it.
It has to have some balance. I'll ask others, too, but we have to take turns, also to ease the burden off me.
If a group of friends went on a trip without you, what would you think?
That's silly. I'll just find new friends! Many others will want my company.
That's fine. They might have something up their sleeves, so it's best to leave them be.
I'll be slighted a bit... then dive back to work to distract myself instead. Got better things to do in life.
I'll weigh on the matter and see if I did something to upset them or see if I'm not a fit in the trip they're making.
Do you like discovering new restaurants, bars, clubs or cafés?
I live for that! Go, go, go!
It depends on what I feel at the moment.
I enjoy this activity because I am always on the lookout for great dining experiences.
I'll have to assess some other factors, such as my budget at the moment, and also the location of the place, then I'll weigh my options.

If you found someone's wallet on a taxi cab, what will you do?
Ignore it. Got more important things to focus on.
Do whatever is necessary to return it to its rightful owner.
Just leave it there. Alert the cab driver so he can deal with it. I'm in a hurry.
Well, maybe try returning it if that's possible. If not, then maybe ask the driver to ask his opinion, since it's their cab anyway...
When someone asks you for advice about a cheating spouse, what words of wisdom will you give?
Do you want a date? I know someone...
I feel for your situation so much. That's terrible. Tell me how you feel.
Your spouse is no good! What do you plan to do? I can help you strategize your next moves.
Oh, that's too bad. Have you tried talking? Maybe there are some unresolved issues that need to be addressed, that's why this happened...
Do you prefer eating out or having takeout or food delivery?
Any. I can afford any, anyway.
It depends on what I'm doing at the moment.
I'm great with both! I enjoy them equally.
Depends on my mood, or where I am located at a given time.
