Ayurvedic Body Type Quiz
On a separate sheet of paper create 3 separate columns with the headings "V", "P", and "K". Number your paper 1-21. Using the chart below, mark an "X" in the column and row that fits you best.
The choices that you pick will reveal your original metabolic body type. This is the body type you were born with. Of course, lifestyle, diet, climate, etc can and will shift you from this delicate balance resulting in compromised immunity and helth. The distribution of your answers may show that you are predominately one type or a mixed type, and this basic configuration (Vata, Pitta, Kapha) is where your health lies. Mark an "X" on your paper for the statement that fits you best. Sometimes more than one statement will fit, sometimes none, mark you paper accordingly. When you are finished add up the "X's" in each colum to reveal your Ayurvedic Metabolic Type.
