Updates in Version 2 - Elemental-Big Five Personality Framework (EBFPF)

  Home  

The new system, called the Elemental-Big Five Personality Framework (EBFPF), builds upon the original occult-inspired four elements while incorporating modern psychological rigor through empirical mappings to the Big Five traits (Openness to Experience, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness, and Neuroticism). This integration draws from research on temperament dimensions, such as the Fisher Temperament Inventory, which links neurobiological systems to personality and provides validated correlations with the Big Five. The system maintains the foundational elements (Water, Fire, Air, Earth) as symbolic archetypes for intuitive self-reflection, but refines trait lists by removing redundancies (e.g., eliminating repeated terms like "resilient" or "visionary" across elements) and aligning them more closely with Big Five facets for clarity and scientific alignment. Negative traits are similarly streamlined to focus on core maladaptive patterns.

To make it dimensional rather than categorical, users assess their affinity to each element on independent continua (0-100 scale, where 0 indicates no alignment and 100 indicates strong alignment). These scores can come from self-rating, a developed questionnaire (e.g., items adapted from original traits and Big Five inventories like the NEO-FFI), or future empirical tools. The total profile is a weighted blend: traits and associated systems (Zodiac, Numerology, etc.) are included proportionally based on scores (e.g., if Water score is 70 and Fire is 30, include 70% of Water's traits/systems and 30% of Fire's, prioritizing dominant ones for brevity). Big Five levels are calculated as weighted averages using the element-specific values (High = 75, Moderate = 50, Low = 25 for qualitative levels, adjusted by correlations where available). For example, Openness score = (Water_score * 75 + Fire_score * 75 + Air_score * 75 + Earth_score * 25) / total_score.

This allows infinite personalized types instead of fixed 15, reducing overgeneralization. Blends are generated dynamically—e.g., a Water-Fire person with scores Water=60, Fire=40 would have traits combining 60% Water and 40% Fire, with Big Five averaged accordingly. For empirical improvement, factor analysis (simulatable via computational tools on trait data) clusters traits into dimensions, confirming element groupings. Cross-cultural adaptations involve testing in diverse populations to adjust mappings (e.g., aligning with Eastern five-element theory). Computational modeling, such as machine learning on questionnaire data, can predict real-world outcomes like job satisfaction from element/Big Five scores, enabling iterative refinements.
Below are the updated profiles for the four base elements, with refined trait lists and added Big Five mappings based on the integrations described. For blends, use the weighting method to combine; examples of the original 15 can be derived by assuming equal weights (e.g., Water-Fire-Air-Earth as 25% each).

Big Five Mappings (based on Prosocial/Empathetic dimension correlations: high Neuroticism r=0.373, high Openness r=0.284, low Conscientiousness r=-0.242; qualitative high Agreeableness from descriptions): Openness to Experience: High (imaginative, artistic, insightful facets) Conscientiousness: Low (indecisive, evasive facets in negatives) Extraversion: Low (introspective, withdrawn facets) Agreeableness: High (empathetic, compassionate, cooperative facets) Neuroticism: High (moody, vulnerable, anxious facets)

Personality Profile: A Water Person is fundamentally an emotional being, guided by intuition, empathy, and sensitivity, now anchored in psychological research linking such traits to high Neuroticism and Agreeableness for deep relational bonds, balanced by high Openness for creative self-expression. They connect profoundly to their inner world, retreating for reflection as a source of strength, mirroring water's fluidity—calm yet potentially turbulent. This duality fosters immense kindness but risks emotional fragility, with low Conscientiousness contributing to indecision. In relationships, they build unwavering support but may falter on boundaries, leading to drain. Creatively, they channel depths into arts or healing, drawing from occult mysticism and Big Five facets like emotionality and sympathy to promote growth. Overall, Water types excel in empathetic pursuits, using dimensional scoring to blend with other elements for balanced profiles, fostering self-awareness through weighted trait integration.
