[ CLICK ON CHART TO ENLARGE ]
Time to figure out your dosha! You can do this test above or try the online quiz at What's Your Dosha, Baby? For an indepth look at the doshas, go to the AyurBalance website.
Keeping score on paper, read through the characteristics listed in the chart, and pick one characteristic from each column per row. Make your way down the rows and tally up all your Vata, Pitta and Kapha characteristics. Whichever scores highest is your predominant dosha, the one you need to balance, through food, activity, breathing and meditation.
If out of the 30 points you have 2 doshas that are high (ie. 15 Vata, 11 Pitta, 4 Kapha), then you have 2 predominant doshas (ie. you are Vata-Pitta) and should keep both in mind but work more on the highest one (ie. Vata). If one dosha way outscores the other, you are purely that dosha.
Have fun and post a comment if you have any questions! If you figure out your dosha then a lot of the future posts will make more sense and be more rewarding!!

Dear Claudia!
First of all, great blog! I love that Michael got you into it.
The info: I am Vata-centric. Through your chart I am Vata - 16, Pitta - 8, Kapha - 6.
Through Dosha, baby my body is V-7, P-3, K-2 and my mind is 4's straight down. Nice to know I have a balanced mind...
Can't wait to find out what any of that means!
hugs,

Hey, j!
I'm so excited that you came to my blog and furthermore checked out your dosha! It sounds like you're a straight-up Vata... and speaking of what that means, how about I dedicate my next post to describe what that's all about...
Peace,
Fran ; )
hmm, this was interesting. I kind of knew that Pitta was my style ;) but would have never guessed that it went so crazy :D
thanx!

I got K13, V9 and P8
Is it normal to have them all so close?
K13, V9 and P8 sounds good to me :-) Sounds like you're mostly balanced with a predominantly Kapha constitution. Hope this helps!
I'm not sure which category to put for Immune Function, Disease Tendency (I don't get sick much) or Disease Type..... any explanation would help me. So far I am coming out quite Vata (12 so far), P - 4 and K - 8.
Grazie e ciao
Sandra
Hi Sandra!
For Immune Function, pick Vata if you get colds a lot or are in good health sometimes and then suddenly in poor health; pick Pitta if you don't particularly get sick too often or feel worse in heat; pick Kapha if you never get sick and have consistently good health.
For Disease Type, pick Vata if your illnesses take the form of pain (headaches, joint pain); Pitta if you get feverish or swollen limbs when you're ill; Kapha if you have much mucous or congestion in your lungs or sinuses when you're sick.
For Disease Type, Vatas get nervous disorders like stress, insomnia, epilepsy; Pittas get jaundice, anemia, experience excessive thirst, as liver imbalances; and Kaphas are generally mucousy and have lung problems.
Hope this helps you finish your chart! :-)
Thank you! I'll finish up now and will be back to your web site again and again.
