This one's kind of fun and interesting, although my Q score is only 2 and I came out three different creatures by taking it 4 different times over time. Each time, though, water was the dominant element, and the water-and-air mermaid type was the one I hit on twice, which is kind of interesting as the prominence of elements in my chart goes fire, earth, water, air. But then I guess he's got questions in there reflecting both natural tendencies and conscious choices. Anyway, I'm overanalyzing. Mostly it's just a fun personality quiz.

I came out a Water-Air Mermaid as well. And my shadow side is a Fire-Earth Phoenix. That is exactly what my chart is like. Predominantly Air and Water and "barely there" Earth and Fire.

Eerily accurate descriptions for the most part.

My Q score was 10.

Wow - did that thing have me pegged or what! I love that my primary mythological creature is the fire with air Dragon. I saw the best of my qualities reflected in that....and yet the shadow side was quite right too, the Earth and Water Centaur, and even though I didn't "like" that as much as the Dragon, and I hate to say it, but many of those things were valid too.

Thanks, that was fun

Love,
Terri

Well, those fit you all perfectly.

I'm a Unicorn. Air (with water) and, oops, my Genini Uranus is showing. It's tuff being an Eternal Teenager.

O the shadow side I'm a whorewuss, no a woodwho, jsut a sec.
Oh, a wodwose? Earth and Fire (i.e.An old goat you don't want to mess with. lol)
Conditioned from many years of Corp 500 Air Dragons, and Merrering Maids. hahaha

My Q is 5, so when I'm godd I'm very, very good,
but when I'm bad ... watch out.

But for the record, the only good Phycological analysis of the Metaphyical is someone that understands that and does NOT put it into the worldy blocks of the stsus quo.
Everything is chnaging nad the meanings of the cultures, the values of stuff, and the systems and processes in place for solial functioning are as they say,
all between your ears.

The real meaning to anything is one's ability to check in with themselves and get back on their track.
Life is a very personal advenure and the trails cross with others, and, well, worlds colide.

When you fall down, and everyone does, it's not about the cause or what happened, it's about getting back up and putting one foot in front of the other in the direction of the rainbow. Who knows, some of us might get there.

Love & Hate,

TTYL,

I have a very dry Quintessence.

And I would like to know who says we need to develope what we don't have. Maybe we just need to use what we do have for those that don't have it.
If everyone was nice and sweet we would all be dead in 3 months. Same for nasty and mean. So what's the difference?

Heh. So I've got the same magical creature as Sucheta and the same never-heard-of-it Wodwose shadow creature as Darwin. That explains a few things. Heh heh heh.

Oo yeah I'm bad, I'm bad, I know it.

Love,
A little mermaid

hee hee. Really? Please enlighten me!

Actually, the thought of you sharing a shadow side with Darwin seems ridiculously funny!

It is funny, but it may come in handy if we need to go underground. Somebody needs to know the tunnel maze.

I am....the....

Satyr
Water with Earth

(how odd? I have five planets in water signs, and five planets in earth signs! Does it have me pegged or what?)

Astrologically associated with Scorpio and the Eighth House (my Rising Sign)

Satyr types are warm and sociable but also enigmatic and mysterious. They are sensitive to others’ feelings and moods and are extremely insightful and perceptive. They feel a need to relate intimately with others and they often do so through sensual pleasures. However, they also have a tendency to be cautious and guarded and they need to maintain their privacy. This behavior confuses others and makes them appear unpredictable and capricious. They want to control over themselves and others in order to feel secure. They also want to merge with others to feel a sense of unity. They are frequently attracted to art and design, especially if it involves the natural world. They have a deep love of nature. They are imaginative and enjoy combining their creative urges with sensual pleasures in a productive way.

What's this "shadow" thingy? I think mine was a dragon of some sort...hmmmm..


Oh! Gotta Go! Big storm coming.....Loud thunder....eeeeeeee

Luv,
Ginny

Ginny,

I'm not sure; one of us may have to buy the book to get the shadow creature thing. The way the descriptions change with the shadows, though, I think it's basically a light side/dark side idea.

So you're a frisky satyr. A lil wilder than you let on.

I scored an 18 on the quiz and came out the same as you did all around, Ginny.

I am a Satyr, earth and water which sure fits my signs of Taurus sun, Pisces moon and Cancer Rising.

I also had the Dragon as my Shadow creature. From what it says about the dragon some of it fits and some of it doesn't. Especially the leadership thing attributed to the dragon. The fire aspect and the need to overcome temper does fit though.

The quiz was fun. Thanks for posting it Maria.

Love, Connie

hey, I know this was first posted two years ago, but cool quiz! \:D

I ended up with a Q score of 7, dunno what that says about me, but the rest of it was pretty close, uncannily so in parts. I'm a Firebird, (a 1970 Firebird to be exact, ;\) ) and my shadow is the Centaur; quite interesting, being my rising sign and all...

Two thumbs up! It's always fun to read about yourself in someone else's words!

Loc: Looking for Schrodinger's cat,

Your Q Score is: 8
The Q score ideally should be as small as possible, indicating maximum agreement among elements. However, even a tiny Q score may not mean optimal functioning, since all four elements may in fact be relatively undeveloped.
Your Primary Mythical Creature

Air Types
The main strength of the Air types is intellect. The second element indicates the most probable focus for this intellectual activity.
Pegasus
Air and Earth

Astrologically associated with Libra and the Seventh House

Pegasus types are theorists who aim to achieve in reality what they conceive with the mind. They are perfectionists who strive to produce order from what they regard as the chaos around them. They detest disorder and ugliness and have a particular flair for creating beautiful surroundings in which to live. They can be highly original and possibly eccentric. They are curious and open-minded but will require convincing evidence to back up ideas. They show exceptional organizational ability. Although they are among the least outgoing of the types they are very concerned with promoting social harmony. Their ability to be objective and impartial makes them popular as fair-minded arbiters of disputes. They are extremely independent and can seem emotionally distant.


Your Shadow Creature

Fire Types
All the Fire types have problems relating to anger and aggression. The weakest element indicates the main focus of these problems.
Phoenix

Fire and Earth

This shadow is prone to a sense of stagnation due to lack of motivation and laziness. Nothing durable is ever produced. Practical activities may never be embarked upon. There is an underlying sense of futility and hopelessness. Disillusionment results from their lack of confidence that they can change anything for the better, and in any case they do not have the will. At the same time there is an underlying grandiosity and even megalomania reflected in their dreams and aspirations. They need to feel special. Instead, they may simply overindulge or neglect themselves physically. The biggest obstacle of weak Earth is to overcome self-centeredness and greed; the biggest obstacle of weak Fire is to overcome anger and aggression.

Ok, that's a funny thing

 Quote:

Well, I appear so to most people, yes. Libra ASC trined to Aqua Venus, plus a Libra Moon. No wonder it looks like that- on the outside.


 Quote:
Unicorn

Air with Water


Funny thing, that... I've no water whatsoever in my chart. Ok, Uranus in Scorp, but that's generational, not personal. And that's the only Water Sign placement I have.


 Quote:
Astrologically associated with Gemini and the Third House


Okay, now THERE we've got it. The Sign of Gemini is empty in my chart, but my 3rd house is full with Sun, Mars and Neptune.

 Quote:
Unicorn types are very concerned with the communication of ideas. They are witty and likeable but can also be quite shy. They are easily bored and easily distracted, and may seem unpredictable and superficial for this reason. Actually they are very deep and are usually trying to find the connections between the people and things around them. They are highly imaginative but not very practical. They love knowledge for its own sake and are not concerned about putting it to use. They are socially astute and sensitive to others’ feelings, but may still appear somewhat aloof. They are drawn to grand schemes for unifying people but these often don’t extend beyond the initial idea. Very logical and rational, Unicorn types are also unconventional and even bizarre. Other people may regard them as fey or just strange.


Spot on! All of it, including the shyness most people don't believe me.



 Quote:
Your Shadow Creature

Earth Types
All the Earth types have problems relating to productivity and stability. The weakest element indicates the main focus of these problems.

Wodwose
Earth and Fire

[QUOTE]This shadow is beset by inertia and a feeling of hopelessness and stagnation.


Right.

 Quote:
They are prone to depression linked to apparently insuperable odds.


Been there, know that, thanks. More often than I'd like it to have been. But, true is true.

 Quote:
They exhibit an attitude of defeat that is betrayed by their fatalism and pessimism.


Don't think so. I hide at home when I feel that way. I don't like to have people around, then.

 Quote:
They often find themselves trapped in a rut of grinding routine.


It's one of my dangers, when I'm not careful, yes.

 Quote:
They have no energy or sense of direction.


Yes. Quite a mirror...

 Quote:
They often alienate others because of their negativity and narrow outlook and because they feel anger and resentment toward them. Passive aggression is used to good effect. They are self-neglectful of their physical needs although they may binge on unhealthy foods and substances. The biggest obstacle of weak Fire is to overcome anger and aggression; the biggest obstacle of weak Earth is to overcome self-centeredness and greed.


Hmmm... Might or might not be.

huh.

Q score is 12. yep.

Primary mythical is Chimera.....what is that? I never heard of it.

Shadow is Gryphon "They are in different ways both self-neglecting and self-indulgent, ignoring genuine physical needs while simultaneously exhibiting hypochondria"

Oh thats hilarious.

Thats right up there with having heart disease that one chooses to ignore while at the same time freaking out from fear of dropping dead before my inbox is empty.

So sweet to read Ginny's post here too.....

Love,

Dani
