Results

Count how many A, B, and C answers you selected.

• Mostly A → Vata dominant
• Mostly B → Pitta dominant
• Mostly C → Kapha dominant
• A close split → Dual dosha (very common)

Your dominant dosha isn’t something to correct it’s something to support.

How to use this information

This quiz is a starting point, not a container.

Your dosha helps explain:

• how you digest food and life
• how stress shows up in your body
• why certain routines feel nourishing and others draining

Balance comes from meeting your system where it actually is, not where you think it should be.

For example, while working with my Ayurvedic teacher we anchored into the fact I am Vata in my upper body (mind), Pita in my middle (digestion), and Kapha in my lower body (movement)... this is not a 'normal' diagnosis.

This is not about becoming someone new or having to fix yourself.
It’s about listening more accurately.
