Choose and tick which best describes you in the table below.

If you feel that you have characteristics from more than one section, you can tick more than one box. If no answer fits for a question leave it blank. Then add up each column and mark the total number of qualities you have chosen under each of the three sections. Your highest total is a guide to what your body type is. Choose what qualities best describes you during most of your life. You may find it helpful to have a close friend or relative fill this in with you.

For a more precise reading see below:

Prakruti: Individual Constitution:
Fill in the quiz and choose/tick what is most consistent over a long period of time (during most of your life)
****
Vikruti: Current State Of Health:
Fill the chart again and choose/tick how you have been feeling recently (this will show which dosha is out of balance)
****
For example if your Vikruti quiz shows more Pitta ticks than your Prakruti quiz then follow Pitta soothing plan (Pitta pacifying treatments, foods etc)
If the Prakruti and Vikruti are the same then follow a plan which is the strongest (the dosha with most ticks)
