This study is intended to find out the athletic players' personality characteristics by applying the Four Pillars (birth year, month, day and hour) of Destiny based on the Yin-Yang School. To reach the goal, the following research tasks have been established. First, the personality characteristics of some cyclists to which the Four Pillars of Destiny is applied are mentioned. Second, the personality characteristics of some table tennis players to which the Four Pillars of Destiny is applied are mentioned. Third, the personality characteristics of some Western-style archers to which the Four Pillars of Destiny is applied are mentioned. Fourth, the common personality characteristics of those cyclists, table tennis players, archers to which the Four Pillars of Destiny is applied are mentioned. To do the mentioned tasks, the birth year, month, day and hour (so-called four pillars) of twelve subjects (four cyclists, four table tennis players, four archers) who attend a certain university have been collected. Then, using the data obtained from the literature of the Four Pillars, interviews, and phone interviews, the personality characteristics of the twelve subjects have been analyzed. After that, the materials obtained from interviews with the subjects have been analyzed.
Based on the research tasks, the following results have been found.
First, an application of the Four Pillars of Destiny to the cyclists has revealed that they are reserved and strongly independent, and have a touch of wood and fire.
Second, an application of the Four Pillars of Destiny to the table tennis players revealed that they are outgoing and strongly independent, and have special space perception skills, thanks to their inborn fortune for propriety, and a touch of metal.
Third, an application of the Four Pillars of Destiny to the archers revealed that they are reserved, strongly independent, and considerate thanks to their inborn tendency to generosity. They also have a touch of earth.
Fourth, an application of the Four Pillars of Destiny to them all revealed that they are commonly strongly independent.
These results indicate that though the subjects were born different in their personality characteristics, they can have proper personality characteristics in common when they take up the same kind of sports.
