What's Your Dosha?

Ayurveda is a 5,000-year-old approach to healthy living that emphasizes a body and mind in harmony with nature. It holds that we're all made up of a combination of elements - air, fire, water, space and earth - which form our dominant personality type, or dosha. Our dosha also gives us insight into the state of our health and our skin-care needs. Are you a Pitta, Kapha or Vata? Find out now with our dosha quiz.

Here are my results. LMAO I believe they are quite accurate:

Your Results:
You're a Powerful Pitta
Remember that most people are a combination of all three doshas, with one being the dominant. While no person exhibits every single quality of their dominant dosha, here are the typical characteristics of a Pitta:

Element: Fire. Like a blaze, you're sharp, fierce and difficult to control.

Your manner: Intelligent, purposeful, fearless.

Your best traits: Honest, fair.

Your worst traits: Intolerant, sarcastic, proud.

Your best job: You have a developed sense of responsibility and would make a great public speaker or leader.

Learning style: You learn quickly, but you'll only remember something if you want to.

Body frame: Neither petite nor heavy; well-proportioned.

Your skin: Sensitive. Look for gentle products and stay away from those with harsh chemicals. Ayurveda recommends that all skin types purchase products made from natural ingredients like vegetable oil and herbs, but this is especially true for you.

Favorite foods: Sweet and cool.

Worst foods: Spicy or oily; sour or salty.

You look beautiful in these colors: Cool greens and blues; silver.

Ayurvedic tradition recommends you: Do everything in moderation, because you can quickly burn out. Your tendency to become easily angered puts you at risk for ulcers and high blood pressure.

Thought this was cool and wnted to share. Have fun Jody

You're a Calm Kapha
Remember that most people are a combination of all three doshas, with one being the dominant. While no person exhibits every single quality of their dominant dosha, here are the typical characteristics of a Kapha:

Element: Earth. Just like its geography, you advance slowly, steadily and patiently.

Your manner: Complacent, serene.

Your best traits: Reliable, compassionate, patient.

Your worst traits: Withdrawn, possessive, unmotivated.

Your best job: You excel at helping people, and your friends always turn to you when they need a shoulder to cry on. You'd make a great nurse or teacher.

Learning style: You learn slowly and carefully. But once you learn something, you don't easily forget it.

Body frame: Solid and large-boned.

Your skin: Oily. A clay mask will work wonders.

Best foods: Pungent spices and astringent foods, like lentils and beans.

Worst foods: Fattening and sweet foods, like ice cream and chips.

You look beautiful in these colors: Rich reds and purples.

Ayurvedic tradition recommends you: Stay active. Kaphas have enormous potential but often lack motivation and can fall into a rut. To stay healthy, pursue your passions and interests, whatever they may be. Exercise daily, especially because you have a tendency to gain weight.

Well I took the quiz

You're a Volatile Vata
Remember that most people are a combination of all three doshas, with one being the dominant. While no person exhibits every single quality of their dominant dosha, here are the typical characteristics of a Vata:

Your best traits: Sparkling, creative, enthusiastic.

Favorite foods: Anything warm and cooked, like stew.

Worst foods: Raw veggies and soda.

You look beautiful in these colors: Warm pastels; jade, emerald, gold.

Ayurvedic tradition recommends you: Establish a routine so your actions are more focused. You have a tendency to space out, but a schedule will help you stay on track.

Same as she-ra

Wow cool quiz! Just signed up for healthy eating recipes!

Very cool. I'm glad you all liked it. So did you feel the responses were accurate for you? I thought mine were (that's why I posted it). Jody

I also got the same response as She-Ra. They obviously don't tailor this test very much to the individual, but I guess that's to be expected with only 10 questions.

A couple parts were really accurate. Some things (especially the 'foods' part, which were completely random) couldn't have been any less accurate. Also the question about skin was just bizarre; I don't have any skin conditions.

Yep, same as She-ra here too. The foods are off... I love spicy food
