PERSONALITY EVALUATION 

In order to understand ourselves, our problems, and the solutions that can solve these problems, we need to evaluate our personality "type". Given below is a tabulated check-list of qualities pertaining to each of the Doshas under various heads. In order to find out you body type, tick off the one that most closely describes you.

Please understand that there are no "right" answers and no "wrong" answers. There are only "true" answers and "untrue" answers. Do not perceive yourself as you would like to be but as you are. Our innate personality is going to be with us for a lifetime and learning to recognise our "negatives" is the first step in trying to live with them in harmony by providing checks and balances to keep them at manageable levels.

V is for Vata; P is for Pitta; K is for Kapha.

Add your score of V's, P's and K's to discover your predominant Dosha/Doshas.
