I answered Cups, on an amateur GD interpretation. I love ideas, which would tend to identify me with Swords, but I'm not actually much of an arguer. I took up philosophy to give myself some logical self-defense against prophets and propagandists, but I have little patience for the tight and sustained deductions of the logical mind. I much prefer heuristic to law. If I am not Swords and yet love a broad play of ideas, it might be supposed that I am Wands. I certainly have a taste for the startling recombination of disparate ideas, but I have none of the energy of Wands, none of its phallic willfulness with the world. Nor am I the least bit practical, and therefore I cannot be Pentacles; I am bad with money, disorderly with my time, chaotic in all my worldly affairs. No, I am indeed Cups. I am moved more to console someone in anguish than to resolve a logical inconsistency. I am moved more by conversational good faith than to see my ideas alone writ large or inscribed on the world. I value kindness, intimacy, intuition, play, nuance, richness, and pathos. These are not the kinds of things that announce themselves, and the world therefore knows me differently than I know myself, but these are the things that rule me. Goodness knows I have been deep in my Cups.

That was a superb description and explanation.
For me, Swords hold sway - but there's definitely a strong watery/Cups component to my disposition too. Air dominates my natal chart, so a profession steeped in epistemology and pedagogy isn't much of a stretch. Some of those negative qualities associated with Swords filter through - to my chagrin - but more often(?) the strong water/Cups component contributes an overarching empathy that 'distorts' some of those abrasive tendencies. Pentacles and Wands both provided necessary points of psychological integration, but their influence is splotchy, at best.

Re: Which Tarot suit best represents you?
i would have to say cups, my life is half-lived in dreams and i listen far more attentively to my intuitive and emotional aspects - i'm a true blue pisces. water figures prominently into much of my magical practice (skrying, cleansing, etc.) and its symbolism within the tarot also has a strong resonance.
