I know PB is doing their own spin on the 6 elements, but maybe for general personalities/characteristics, if you're into Harry Potter, you can draw parallels with Gryffindor = Fire; Slytherin = Water, Ravenclaw = Air; and Hufflepuff = Earth. Not sure if that helps with the answers to the attuned exam. Especially when some things seem contradictory (like Griffin is Earth att but he says Metal is close to it, and so he can open locks easily), but if the attunement tree is read from left to right (in Ch 2), it's Earth, Water, Air, Fire on the bottom; Wood and Metal above, Sun and Moon above; so wouldn't E/W be below Wood and A/F be below Metal? which makes sense if Earth is closer to Wood than Metal, but then again Metal is supposed to be "cool". The cover picture (Beckett's diagram of elements on his right hand)  makes more "sense" in that aspect; e.g. Wood is between Fire and Earth, and Metal is between Air and Water, since in astrology, it goes Fire, Earth, Air, Water (and repeats three times to cover the 12 zodiac signs). Sorry, I'm rambling. Hope I didn't confuse you.
