your mind-body type is Kapha-Pitta

An Introduction to three doshas:


Ayurveda defines health as a dynamic state of balance between mind (or consciousness) and body (or physical matter). All of us are made up of a unique mind-body type that differentiates us from people around us. In
Ayurveda, our mind-body type is explained by the influence of three doshas- Vata, Pitta and Kapha. Each dosha has a defined set of physical and emotional characteristics, and personality traits. In order to achieve a
healthy state of balance, it is important to identify your mind-body type based on your dosha, as it will help you create a lifestyle that supports your unique personality.
Know your Kapha-Pitta-Vata (KPV) index:
Each of us possess all three doshas, but in varying proportions. This KPV index quiz will help you evaluate your unique mind-body type by giving you a breakdown of your doshas. You will learn that one dosha will usually
be predominant, making its effect the strongest on your overall mind-body constitution. You will also find out about your secondary and least dominant dosha, giving you a general understanding of how the three doshas
play a significant role in influencing your personality.
The quiz includes questions about your physical constitution, mental traits, general habits and behavior to help determine your personality. While answering them, make sure you choose the one that applies the most to
you.
