Questions people ask
What happens in the body during overwhelm?
There is a moment smaller than a second between fine and overwhelmed, and what happens there was decided long ago. Your system does one specific thing first, automatically, before any of it reaches decision-making.
How long does this quiz take?
Six questions, about two minutes. Free, no account, immediate result.
What are the five exits?
The Scroller, the Snapper, the Shutdown, the Over-Explainer, and the Disappearer. Each is a first move rather than a mood — reaching, sharpening, closing, justifying, or leaving the room, all inside the first second.
How is this different from a nervous system quiz?
It is narrower and earlier. Other doors here read your overall wiring or your regulation style; this reads the very first automatic move at the moment the line is crossed — which is the thing you can actually learn to catch.
Why does it matter which one I do?
Because the first move is the only intervention point. Once the spiral is running you are managing it; the seconds before it starts are where anything can still be chosen, and you cannot catch a move you have never named.
