Like Fire, Air is a positive ‘yang’ element, but has a more impersonal quality. Just like the wind, it is all-pervasive and constantly moving, and connects and relates everything it touches in the outer world. Hence the need for airy individuals to socialize and share ideas with many different people. Unlike the intensity of Fire, Air is more detached, abstract and non-intimate in its mode of operation. To find the rational principle at work behind the operations of nature and human behaviour is what the airy individual seeks. And so we usually find that the airy temperament is breezy, intellectual, communicative, curious, co-operative, sometimes ‘airy-fairy’ but always interested in cause-and-effect, in the past-present-future relationship of things, and in understanding people and situations with their minds.

Air types handle ideas well, they are logical, cool, civilized, witty and usually the life of the party where they can indulge themselves in the sheer variety of people. In the realm of feelings, however, the airy individual is often insecure and naive, as feelings do not lend themselves easily to the logical measurement of the rational mind.
