Dosha Quiz


In Ayurveda, health is understood as the vibrant state of balance between mind, body, spirit, and environment. It is accessible to each of us to attain and maintain a complete state of health by determining our mind-body type and adopting a lifestyle that best supports our unique qualities.

Take this self-guided dosha quiz to identify your mind-body type. Check the answer(s) that most accurately fit your lifelong tendencies in general. You may also take the quiz to determine your current mind-body type by answering the questions based on your present state and/or transient conditions.

Note: Though the results of this test will give a good indication of the primary dosha(s) in your mind-body type, it does not replace an evaluation with a qualified ayurvedic therapist.
