    Smoke - there but not there. Yup, close enough.

    The very first question offered me no relevant options, so I came straight to the comments to see if I was the only one.

    Oh yeah, I’m always like that with multiple choice questions. I’ll be like, “ no not A, B sorta, c never, but both D and E most of the time”. If they gave you a write-in option…

    So that everyone can enjoy the text. (I personally think it got me wrong) Ice: Cool, precise, and sharp around the edges, you’re the calm eye of any storm. Details are your domain, and emotions get carefully filed instead of flung around. Some mistake this chill for indifference, yet they’re missing the sculpted beauty underneath. Warmth isn’t absent—it’s simply conserved. Letting a few flakes fall can reveal the intricate pattern of your mind.

    Water You flow around obstacles with grace, rarely making a splash unless you choose. Friends call you calm, but they miss the deep currents of feeling beneath the glassy surface. You absorb stories, moods, and memories like a quiet lake soaks in moonlight. Give yourself permission to ripple! Still waters deserve to be noticed, too. When you finally speak, your words nourish like rain after drought.

    None of the above, as usual. As a householder, rainy Sundays are for cleaning and DIY. These "quizzes" never seem to take into account that some of us have moribund existences that have duties and things that need doing. Of course, none of earth, fire, air and water is an element, so it's an ancient misnomer.

    Yeah, I know what you mean, but it's only a bit of fun so you just need to pick the least unlikely option really. In any event it's all just harmless nonsense anyway.

    Question 1 didn't include reading so my element is not included

    Not totally on board with the options, but better than usual. That said, this is is a rare occasion - a description that is accurate.

    ice. however, many of these questions didn't have an option that actually fit me. the karaoke one, for instance. the correct answer for me is i don't do karaoke, i just watch other people do it.

    I expected a chemical element and hoped I’d get nitrogen. “Smoke” is not an element.
