Now add the number of responses from each of the columns, (Options 1, 2 or 3).  Option 1 is the column for Vata characteristics, Option 2 represents the Pitta column, and Option 3 is the Kapha characteristic column.  Once you have totaled each of the columns you will see which is your dominant dosha, then your secondary and finally your tertiary.  Please remember that we are all comprised of a combination of each of the three doshas, in different combinations, so all three of the doshas will be present in each of us. 

Answering this questionnaire will help you to identify your basic doshic constitution, (Prakruthi).  Use this as a rough guide, a more precise Ayurvedic Consultation is necessary to fully understand your Doshic Constitution and imbalances, and how to reestablish balance.  For each item choose the option which is most applicable to you.  It is better to take the test without any prejudice as to what your balance may be- answer the questions honestly.  It often helps to take the test with a person who knows you well.  You can now download this questionnaire from our downloads page.  Please bring a completed copy with you for your initial consultation.
