Dosha Quiz
Dosha Quiz
This quiz is intended as a way for people to learn their Prakriti (Underlying Nature) or Vikriti (Current Imbalance). Please take this quiz twice for “On Average” (Prakriti) and a second time for “This Instant” (Vikriti)
For example: Under the Vata section there is a phrase "I am talkative". If generally you are a talkative individual then score higher when you take the quiz the first time for Prakriti. But maybe today you are feeling quiet and more introverted. Then you will want to score lower when you take the quiz a second time for your Vikriti.
For every section: 0 = Not at All || 6 = Completely
