I am definitely an air/water person with a fair dollop of earth but have trouble with the fire part, so my preference for playing card suits turns out to be reflected in my nature, even though I was unaware of the correspondences as a child.
Spooky, eh?

Maybe I would list fire first instead of air, but earth and water are definitely in the right places.
