The four elements and social skills
Hello. I want to talk about the four elements (fire, water, earth, air) and their relation to social skills. And probably get more advanced input from others if there are some who knows more about it. This theory is ancient, since ... forever. Every old nation believed in the four elements despite the language barriers. Greeks to Babylonians to Buddhists. But we use MBTI, myers briggs type indicator. It is a European spinoff of Carl Jungs works. Carl Jung is the modern psychologist who re-invented this after people mistakenly tried to blame personality on bodily differences deviating from the original 4 tempraments. Temprament is a greek word which means belnding, and temper means mood.
Fire is also known as Choleric. Or NF. And Humanist.
Water is also known as Plegmatic. Or NT (not neurotypical). And Researcher.
Earth is also known as Melancholic. Or SJ. And Stabilizer.
Air is also known as Sanguine. Or SP. ...
These four tempraments are further broken into 16 different letters. I am for example INFP, a healer. I belive I am, but since I have Aspergers I could be exception. And I read once that autists are normally ISTJ. INFP means Introverted, iNtuitive, Feeling, Perceiving. And the exact opposite of it is ESTJ, which is a kind of superviser. It stands for Extroverted, Sensing, Thinking, Judging.
