The Default Resilient Method

Quiz

Find your default.

Seven questions. One pattern. Three minutes.

A short read on what your nervous system does under stress, and how it recovers after. The same two diagnostic axes I use in the full 120-minute assessment, applied to self-report. At the end, one of four patterns and a short write-up.

The four patterns

Settled

Gentle rise, gentle descent, returns fully to a default resilient state.

Resilient

High peak, clean descent, returns fully to a default resilient state.

Shutdown

Low peak, shallow descent, stays near a flat default.

Activated

High peak, incomplete descent, stays elevated above a default resilient state.

How it works

Reactivity and recovery.

The two axes the full assessment scores. How fully your body activates when a stressor arrives, and how completely it settles afterward. Different patterns sit at different corners of that map. The quiz reads where you sit using subjective signals you already know about your own body.

Self-report

A working hypothesis.

This is self-report, not a measurement. Most takers land within one quadrant of their full-assessment result. About 15 percent land in a different quadrant than their physiology shows, usually because the body has adapted to a pattern the taker has stopped noticing.
