Try to categorise your responses so that there is one answer per question. Think carefully about which answer suits you most of the time or is where you consider your personal baseline to be.

That being said, we are creatures of nuance! If you feel that you fall evenly across 2 answers to a particular question, please assign a half-point to each response in that question.

The quiz is split in to 2 sections - one relating to your physical characteristics and the other relating to your mental & emotional characteristics. This is because we often find that people may have one predominant Dosha in their physical body, while encompassing another predominant Dosha in their mental & emotional self.
