The Alchemist’s most vital need is variety; keeping their options open, doing things a new way, shaking things up, and challenging systems (sometimes just for the hell of it!). They crave input (i.e. information, which could come from practically anywhere: people, art, media, research, etc), but in order to have balance in their creative cycle, they also require output. After they often go on research tangents that can last hours longer, days, or longer, depending on the Alchemist and their life obligations , they won’t feel quite complete until they’ve had a chance to do something with some of that information.

I’d like to share the story of how we developed the ideas for the EVO Elements: the Brain Types and Compasses, the Elements Assessment, and the path that led us to develop the world’s first and only planner customized to work with the way your brain naturally operates.

As we discussed in Part I of this series (Understanding Your Top Two Elements), the way we present your Elements in your EVO Element Assessment results has a very specific reason, which is described in the Balance Principle above, and can be summarized simply as: we need balance in all aspects of our mental processing.

We’ve talked a lot about Brain Type, because those Elements were the ones introduced first in the Brain Type Assessment—the quick, two minute assessment that helps match you with the EVO Planner that best suits your planning style.
