We moved beyond static traits to focus on dynamic energy states.
We focus on what drains you and what regenerates you—not just static traits.
Your personality shifts across four modes: Biological, Societal, Passion, and Protection.
Designed with ADHD, Autism, and diverse thinking styles at the core—beneficial for all brain types.
Explicit boundaries, no guru dynamics, no medical claims.
Think of your Elements as your Hardware—your natural, biological wiring that doesn't change. You aren't just one "type"—you are a unique cocktail, but usually 2-3 elements dominate.
Fun-seeking, adventurous energy. Electric types are eternally youthful adventure seekers who want to live life to the fullest, exploring the world and resisting serious responsibilities.
Fun, novelty, exploration, and living life to the fullest.
Monotony, serious responsibilities, and feeling trapped.
Active rest, brief high-intensity movement, and creative problem-solving.
Rapid-fire, enthusiastic, and idea-focused.
Passionate, action-oriented energy. Fiery types are natural leaders driven by influence and respect, who thrive when trusted and making progress.
Influence, being trusted, respected, and making visible progress.
Bureaucracy, inaction, lack of trust, and not being respected.
Leadership roles, making progress, and earning recognition.
Direct, confident, and results-focused.
Deep, emotionally-driven, seeking strong bonds. Aquatic types adapt to people they care about and excel at thoughtful personal gestures. They can energize from emotional intensity.
Connection, depth, being remembered, and being included.
Feeling ignored, excluded, forgotten, or abandoned.
Deep conversations, personal attention, water immersion, and artistic expression.
Empathetic, personal, and attentive to details.
Grounded, diplomatic, and harmony-seeking. Earthly types are natural pacifists who adapt to and support everyone with the goal of wellbeing for all.
Harmony, peace, collaboration, and wellbeing for everyone.
Conflict, disharmony, chaos, and feeling unappreciated.
Nurturing activities, nature time, and peaceful environments.
Warm, patient, and peace-seeking.
Curious, analytical, and nuanced. Airy types see all shades of gray and need space and time to analyze and process before acting.
Understanding, knowledge, and having space to process.
Conflict, emotional chaos, pressure, and forced quick decisions.
Solitude, calm discussions, learning, and organizing.
Logical, thoughtful, and ideas-focused.
Logical, practical, and direct. Metallic types don't reinvent the wheel—they value proven methods, keep things simple, and prefer black-and-white over endless nuance.
Logic, practicality, proven methods, and not wasting bandwidth.
Ambiguity, vagueness, reinventing the wheel, unnecessary complexity.
Proven routines, clear expectations, and mastery work.
Direct and specific—just tell me what you want.
Each element falls somewhere on the energy spectrum, from high stimulation needs (Extroverted) to low stimulation needs (Introverted).
Dopamine Driven
Seeks novelty, intensity, and external reward to feel alive.
Oxytocin Driven
Fueled by connection, trust, and emotional bonding.
Acetylcholine Driven
Seeks internal focus, calm processing, and deep learning.
Different elements regenerate in different ways. Understanding your regeneration type helps you recover from burnout and maintain sustainable energy.
Most people need a mix of all three types, but in different proportions based on their elemental profile.
Activities that regenerate you—stimulating environments for extroverts, low-stimulus activities for introverts
Designing and organizing your spaces based on your preferences so they feel like home
Planning ahead, setting boundaries, self-regulation tools (fidgets, headphones), supplements/meds—increasing your bandwidth
If your Elements are your Hardware (Nature), these Modes are your Software (Habits).
You aren't broken when you struggle—you're just running the wrong software for the situation. Identifying your current mode gives you the power to switch.
Your most natural state. What requires the least energy and keeps you regenerated.
Your learned state. An investment of energy to adapt—invest wisely.
Your passionate state. A temporary injection of energy and confidence. Remember to return to essence to regenerate.
Your crisis state. An impact that may initially give energy but sooner or later leaves you drained of energy, confidence, or connections.
When we enter Protection Mode, we activate one or more of these protective responses. Identifying your patterns helps you recognize when you're no longer operating from your authentic self.
Mobilized Aggression
"Active defense against threat"
Mobilized Escape
"Active avoidance of threat"
Social Submission
"Safety through appeasement"
Immobilized Shutdown
"Passive defense (playing dead)"

Note: We're not saying other frameworks are wrong—they serve different purposes. We're just optimized for energy management and neurodivergent brains.
The NeuroElemental System draws on research in neuroscience, including genetic variations (COMT, MTHFR), sensory processing differences, and energy regulation patterns in neurodivergent populations. While not a diagnostic tool, it's informed by decades of research into how different brains process stimulation and manage resources.
