ntimately connected to nature- we are actually mini replicas of nature made up of the same stuff (energy) just in different forms and with a personal soul attached. We are all made up of the energies of the five elements and their inherent qualities and what makes everything and everyone so unique and different is that we are all a varying ratio of the five elements. No two people are the same. This test will give you glimpse into what your balance of the five elements are. In Ayurveda, we call this your Dosha or unique mind-body type. Dosha literally means fault, or disease tendency. So the Dosha or Dosha's you score highest in are where you will tend towards in disease or imbalance under stress. Keep in mind that we all have all doshas within us. No one is all ether and air (Vata) or all fire and water (Pitta). Your score will let you know which one you are most like. You still however embody the other doshas at smaller amounts (a lot smaller amount or just a slightly smaller amount). This is a general test. You will get more specific results from seeing an Ayurvedic Practitioner. Have fun with this and use it to gain more knowledge and insight on yourself, your functionings and your tendencies. You can take this test in two ways: 1. Answer the questions with how you were growing up. This will give you a better look at your Prakruti, or you original state of balance. This is the balance you want to come back to and maintain. This is where you body will function at it's most optimal level. 2. Answer the question with how you feel and are now or in the last 6 months. This will show you your state of balance as of now, called Vikruti in Ayurveda.
