The Pagan Personality Test
Introduction

 

I developed the Wiccan Personality Test just for fun. We are all unique individuals with unique qualities. But, I have noticed that people tend to favor particular habits and likings and that these preferences can be related to the four elements. For each element, I have used the traditional colors but I have added colors between the original four. Personalities are related to qualities associated with those elements. The following is a chart of those elements and colors as laid out in the traditional equilateral cross turned into a grid pattern.

Review the qualities of each of the four elements and relate them to the human personality and you will see the correspondences. Here's how I saw the relationship of each color to personality:

Scoring The Test

 

 

Refer to the chart above. You will be finding your place within the grid. Starting from the center, count outwards in the directions indicated. Count the number of As and Bs. Subtract the lesser number from the greater. If the As are greater, mark the remaining number on the Water (blue) side. If the Bs are greater, mark the remaining number on the Fire (red) side. Count the number of Cs and Ds. Subtract the lesser number from the greater. If the Cs are greater, mark the remaining number on the Air (yellow) side. If the Ds are greater, mark the remaining number on the Earth (green) side. You should now have two marks on your grid. Follow the lines to find where the two intersect. This point is your personality color. You can see how much you are influenced by surrounding colors.

For example, if I had scored 8 As, 5 Bs, 10 Cs and 3 Ds, I would look at the number of As and the number of Bs and subtract the lesser of the two (the Bs) from the greater of the two (the As) and get 3 (8-5). I would do the same for the Cs and the Ds and get 7 (10-3). I would then count 3 toward blue (because the As were the greater number) and 7 toward yellow (because the Cs were greater). I would be considered a Yellow personality with a lot of influence from Purple.

 

Using the Information

 

 

By seeing where you are on the grid, you can get an idea of your own personality but you can also see how you might get along with others if you can assess their position on the chart as well. The following arrows show relationships within the grid.

The closer one is to the center of the grid, the more balanced the personality. The chart can help you find ways to better balance yourself as well as work with others.
