Specific Purpose : To inform my audience about the type of personality.
Central Idea : The four elements of Earth, Fire, Water and Wind describe the four unique personality types associated. The elements exhibit profound influence on basic character traits, behavior, emotions and needs.

INTRODUCTION: I. Have you all known your own personality?

II. What’s a personality means actually? A. The particular combination of emotional, attitudinal, and behavioral response patterns of an individual. B. Another way that personality can be defined is as an individual's characteristic style of behaving, thinking and feeling.

III. Based on my research, personality can through the self-report-a series of answers to a questionnaire to indicate the extent to which sets of statements or adjectives accurately describe their own behavior or mental state.

IV. Therefore, we should know and understanding of our positive traits and deal with the negative ones, thus realize our full potential and give our best to this life.
