I first read this essay when I was growing up and being berated by my father about my use of the English Langauge. Dad would correct my linguistic structure and pronunciation; Mum would correct grammar and punctuation. I was semi-colonised from a young age.
Everyone should have such influences, just as everyone should have a Jewish grandmother. Hmm. There's a thought.
Of all the elements, you are most like Tungsten.
You scored 59 Mass, 20 Electronegativity, 53 Metal, and 10 Radioactivity!
You may buy into the values of society, but you just can't seem to fit into it. You've always been a bit variable in your oxidation states. On the bright side you can withstand extremely high-energy people and environments just as easily as you can survive low-energy ones. You might do comparatively well hanging out with Phosphorus people as a result. In fact, you are probably the best-suited person to try to shape their efforts into something constructive... unfortunately, that would require your actively involving yourself with others, which you are generally loathe to do. The ideal job for you would be working within a nuclear power plant... alone.

I second that.
I have to agree that such influences have to turn out good in the end. However, that's a highly privileged position. *sigh*
