About This Quiz

Life is made up of four elements in this world that bring harmony, peace and balance to people, animals and nature itself. While we can't tell you what those four elements are just yet, we will discuss more about what your "true essence" actually means!

An individual's essence is determined by their primary personality and behavior traits. For example, you may be an energetic and lively person who radiates happiness to other people. But on the other hand, you might be someone who is shy and quiet during a party. And if you're a rare hybrid of two or more elements, then your personality might be more layered. In other words, you might be both shy and energetic, depending on who you're around. 

A person's essence is also determined by how much confidence they have in themselves, as this may show in their subtle nonverbal cues. So next time you're having a conversation with someone, pay attention to their body language, their word choices and their tone of voice, because they may have a hidden essence that you don't know about. 

For a greater understanding of what element makes up your inner essence, take our lively personality quiz right now!
