User blog:StoryGirl83/Elemental Attundement in the Test for "The Elementalists"

This blog post is to discuss and determine the elemental attunement of each answer on the test. Each question should cover all six possible answers. That means if there are three answers, each will have two elements, four answers means two will have two and two will have one, five answers means one will have two answers and four will have one each.

Current theories on this will be posted below and this blog post will be updated until we figure out what everything is.

Below are the definitions of the different attunements according to Professor Kontos. Thanks to each of the wikia users who shared them.
 * Air-Att - Air-Atts are known for their innovation. Their enthusiasm and curiosity can often result in a mischievous nature. These attuned have strategic minds, but their inability to make decisions can hinder their plans. Despite being quite social, Air-Atts often feel removed from those around them. Remember not to isolate yourself.
 * Earth-Att - Earth-Atts are most known for their stability and work ethic. Allow yourself to rely on on others when practicing magick.
 * Fire-Att - fire personalities are “passionate” and fight for what they believe in but can be destructive when crossed.
 * Metal-Att
 * Water-Att
 * Wood-Att - Wood-Atts are known for their kindness and patience. Try not to become overburdened by this in your magickal studies.

In the below guide atts in bold are ones I am sure off. Atts in italics are ones that are just there because I know they are somewhere. Ones in regular text are guesses, based on more than the ones in italics, but still just guesses. Let's see if we can't make more of these bold.

A sphinx asks you to answer a riddle. You...
 * Ask the sphinx to answer my own riddle. (Metal-Att & Fire-Att)
 * Trick the sphinx into giving me the answer. (Air-Att)
 * Tell the sphinx all the possible answers. (Water-Att & Earth-Att)
 * Take random guesses. Eventually I'll get it right. (Wood-Att)

Choose a potion...
 * Mercurial, shiny, and silver. (Metal-Att & Fire-Att)
 * Translucent and radiant, like a rainbow. (Air-Att & Wood-Att)
 * Sea-green and foaming. (Water-Att & Earth-Att)

How do you make decisions?
 * Based on my gut (Fire-Att)
 * By weighing pros and cons (Earth-Att)
 * With great difficulty ('Wood-Att)

I really have no idea which ones might be Air, Metal, and Water in that question.

If you could live anywhere, where would you live?
 * In the cavernous mountains with the giants. (Earth-Att)
 * In the coral city with the merfolk. (Water-Att)
 * Deep in the forest with the nymphs. (Wood-Att)
 * Out in the desert among the djinn. (Fire-Att & Air-Att)
 * In the city with the vampires. (Metal-Att)

What do you value most?
 * Knowledge.
 * Balance.
 * Passion. (Fire-Att)
 * Loyalty. (Earth-Att)

I don't know where Air, Metal, Water, and Wood fit in in the question.

What is your favorite magickal creature?
 * Phoenix. (Fire-Att)
 * Dragon. (Earth-Att & Metal-Att)
 * Gryphon. (Water-Att)

Not at all sure what to do with Air (since all of them fly, so that's not it) or Wood.

What scares you most?
 * Being forgotten.
 * Silence.
 * Being alone. (Wood-Att)

Not sure where Air, Fire, and Metal fit.

 * Pen scratching on paper. (Fire-Att)

What's your favorite season?
 * Spring (Air-Att)
 * Summer (Fire-Att)
 * Autumn (Earth-Att)
 * Winter

I'm leaning toward Winter being Water-Att, but have no evidence of it. Not sure where Metal and Wood fit in.

Where would you like to spend your time?
 * Sitting on the edge of a cliff.
 * Wandering a canyon
 * Up in a tree (Wood-Att)
 * On the beach (Water-Att)

Metal is definitely one of the first, two, but I'm nor sure which. Earth, is probably one of the first, two as well. Not sure on Air and Fire.

Would you like to live forever?
 * Absolutely... Think of all that could be learned. (Air-Att & Earth-Att)
 * Maybe. It could give me a chance to change things. (Wood-Att & Water-Att)
 * No. I'm going to live this life to the fullest. (Fire-Att & Metal-Att)

You're at a crossroads. A bank of fog lies ahead. Which way do you go?
 * Straight ahead and into the fog. (Fire-Att)
 * Back the way I came. There could be dangers ahead. (Earth-Att)
 * To the left or right, trying to find a way around. (Wood-Att)
 * I'll ask my friends for advice.

I'm thinking the fourth one is Air-Atts, not sure about Metal and Water.

You're fighting a swarm of pixies. What's your strategy?
 * Rush in and take them head on. (Fire-Att)
 * Analyze them and find a weakness. (Earth-Att)
 * Team up with my friends. (Wood-Att)

Not sure about Air, Metal, and Water.

 * Take the lead. (Fire-Att)
 * Handle the research. (Air-Att & Earth-Att)
 * Fill in the gaps. (Water-Att)
 * Keep things fun. (Wood-Att)

Not sure where Metal falls in.

You’ve found a dragon’s hoard, but can only take one thing. What is it?
 * An old spell book. (Wood-Att)
 * One of the dragon’s scales.
 * An enchanted ring.
 * Nothing . I won’t steal.

I don't have enough data on this question to make a lot of determinations on it.

I think we can all agree that the last question has been correctly interpreted.

Your friends would say that you're extremely...
 * Self-Reliant. (Metal-Att)
 * Determined. (Fire-Att)
 * Curious. (Air-Att)
 * Nurturing (Wood-Att)
 * Practical (Earth-Att)
 * Laid-Back (Water-Att)
