Know Yourself.
Grow with Balance.
The Periodic Table of the Self™ reveals patterns through a series of reflections that surface how you naturally think, decide, relate, and respond. Your responses identify which Elements are active across the domains and how strongly they express themselves.
These patterns allow Aris to understand where balance is steady, where it is strained, and how to help you return to center with clarity and care.
How you express yourself and connect with others
How you take in, process, and organize information
How you evaluate situations and make decisions
How you regulate emotions and navigate conflict
What energizes you, drives your behavior, and meets your core needs
The Periodic Table of the Self™ is organized into five domains, each grouping a distinct set of Aris Elements™. Insights emerge from how Elements combine within a domain, and how those patterns interact across domains, revealing where balance is steady and where it becomes strained.
Within the five domains live 35 Aris Elements™, each shaping how you perceive, decide, relate, and respond. In any given situation, multiple Elements across domains work together, forming the pattern that guides your experience and how others experience you as life unfolds.
Each Element expresses itself at a distinct activation level. Primary Elements are dominant and instinctive. Active Elements arise naturally and consistently. Balanced Elements adapt with context. Subtle Elements remain deeply internal, shaping inner experience but rarely expressing outwardly, and are not readily accessible without intentional awareness or development.
The Periodic Table of the Self™ is a scientifically grounded framework for understanding the root causes that quietly pull life out of balance. It shows how thought, emotion, behavior, and connection influence one another over time.
Built on more than a decade of psychological and cross-disciplinary research, it brings established behavioral science into an adaptive framework designed for real life, where balance shifts gradually and contextually.
The Periodic Table of the Self™ and each Element are validated by the Aris science & research team, with guidance from the Aris Science & Ethics Council (SEC).
The SEC is composed of leading psychologists, behavioral scientists, therapists, and ethicists.
