Frequently Asked Questions
What the Reset Score measures, how the practices work, and what to expect.
The Reset Score
What is the Reset Score?
It’s a diagnostic assessment that measures seven foundational pillars: physicality, emotions, power, love, communication, clarity, and connection. You answer a series of questions, and the score produces a composite number, a breakdown by pillar, and an archetype (the pattern your scores form). The whole thing takes about ten minutes.
Is it free?
Yes. No account, no email gate, no paywall. You take the assessment and get your results immediately.
How is this different from other wellness assessments?
Most assessments measure personality or mood. The Reset Score measures functional systems: how well your body recovers, how you process emotions, how you handle power dynamics, and so on. It’s closer to a systems diagnostic than a personality quiz. The results connect directly to specific practices rather than generic advice.
Can I retake it?
Absolutely. Your scores will shift as you practice. We recommend retaking it every four to six weeks to see which pillars have moved and whether your archetype has changed.
The Framework
What are the seven pillars?
Each pillar maps to a foundational system:
- Earth (Physicality): how grounded, rested, and resilient your body is
- Water (Emotions): how well you process and move through emotional states
- Fire (Power): your relationship with drive, boundaries, and authority
- Air (Love): how open and connected your relationships feel
- Sound (Communication): whether you say what you mean and hear what’s said
- Light (Clarity): your ability to see patterns, trust intuition, and decide
- Ether (Connection): the sense that your life and work actually cohere
What’s an archetype?
Your seven pillar scores form a pattern. That pattern has a name. There are eight archetypes (the Performer, the Protector, the Absorber, the Achiever, the Thinker, the Spark, the Muted, the Builder) and each one describes a different way of compensating, withdrawing, or overextending. Your archetype helps you understand why your scores look the way they do.
Why music?
Music accesses emotional and somatic states that talk-based approaches often can’t reach. We don’t use it as background ambiance. The compositions are designed for specific practices and specific pillar work. A Fire practice session uses different music than a Water session because the internal state you’re building is different.
The Practices
Do I need to meditate to use this?
Not in the way most people mean. The practices include breathwork, somatic exercises, guided listening, journaling, and movement alongside more traditional meditation. What you actually do depends on your pillar scores and your level. If sitting still for twenty minutes sounds terrible, your score probably reflects that and your practice recommendations will meet you where you are.
How long are the practices?
They vary. Some are five minutes, some are thirty. The low-level practices for each pillar tend to be shorter and more concrete (physical, structured, immediately accessible). The high-level practices assume more capacity and often involve longer, subtler work.
What if I score low on everything?
That happens, and it’s fine. It usually means you’re going through a depleted period (burnout, major transition, accumulated stress). The framework doesn’t ask you to fix everything at once. You pick one or two pillars to start with, use the low-level practices, and work up from there. The Muted archetype specifically addresses this pattern.
For Organizations
Can we use this for our team?
Yes. We offer team-level assessments that produce aggregate data (which pillars are strong across the team, which ones are consistently low) alongside individual results. This gives you a picture of your team’s collective internal operating system, which turns out to be extremely useful for understanding group dynamics, retention patterns, and performance dips.
How is this different from corporate wellness programs?
Most corporate wellness is a benefits line item: gym memberships, meditation app subscriptions, maybe a quarterly workshop. Those aren’t bad, but they’re generic. We start with measurement, match practices to what the measurement found, and track changes over time. The programs are facilitated, not self-serve, which means people actually do them.
How do we get started?
Reach out through the contact page and tell us about your team. We’ll set up a call to discuss what you’re seeing, what you’ve tried, and whether this framework fits what you need.
