Dosha is an Ayurvedic term for the 3 main energetic forces that govern our psychological and physiological actions and characteristics. These 3 doshas are known as Vata, Pitta and Kapha and are each derived from 2 of the 5 main elements Ether, Air, Fire, Water and Earth. Depending on the elements involved, the predominant qualities of the individual will reflect the qualities of those elements.
This quiz is a simple test to determine which dosha is most predominant in your constitution (Prakriti). No person is of one type only, so expect some combination of traits. Please select the answer that pertains most strongly, most often and the most consistent throughout your entire life.
Tips on how to fill out the quiz:
Remember, your constitution (Prakriti) is the same from birth until death; therefore try to answer thinking of how things have been throughout your ENTIRE life; if there is a lot of variance, think of how you were as a child.
If you have acquired a disorder or chronic imbalance in your lifetime, try to answer thinking before this occurrence.
If you feel multiple answers resonate with you, use the answer that has been most relevant throughout most of your life (especially childhood).
Be honest! We sometimes like to think of ourselves overly optimistically (or pessimistically)… Just think, how would your best friend or sibling answer this question for you?
