Answer 8 simple questions about your body, mind, and habits to uncover your unique Ayurvedic constitution.
Based on traditional Ayurvedic Prakriti assessment
Understanding the Three Doshas
In Ayurveda, the three doshas — Vata, Pitta, and Kapha — are fundamental bio-energies derived from the five elements (Pancha Mahabhutas). Every person carries a unique proportion of all three doshas, but one or two tend to dominate. This innate ratio, set at conception, is called your Prakriti (natural constitution). Knowing your Prakriti is the first step toward personalised wellness in Ayurveda.
Vata
Air + Ether
Vata governs movement, breathing, and the nervous system. Vata-dominant individuals tend to be creative, energetic, and quick-thinking with a lean build. When balanced, they are lively and enthusiastic. When imbalanced, they may experience anxiety, dry skin, or irregular digestion.
Pitta
Fire + Water
Pitta controls digestion, metabolism, and transformation. Pitta-dominant people are typically sharp, ambitious, and focused with a medium build. In balance, they are natural leaders with strong digestion. Imbalance may bring irritability, inflammation, or acid reflux.
Kapha
Earth + Water
Kapha provides structure, stability, and lubrication. Kapha-dominant individuals tend to be calm, nurturing, and strong with a sturdy build. Balanced Kapha brings endurance, loyalty, and groundedness. Imbalance may manifest as lethargy, weight gain, or congestion.
How Our Dosha Quiz Works
Our assessment evaluates 8 key dimensions of your physical and mental characteristics — body frame, skin and hair type, digestion patterns, energy levels, sleep quality, emotional tendencies, appetite, and response to stress. These dimensions are drawn from the classical Prakriti assessment methods described in the Charaka Samhita, one of Ayurveda's foundational texts.
Instead of a simple majority count, our scoring system calculates percentage scores for each dosha. This means you see your full constitutional profile — for example, 45% Pitta, 35% Vata, 20% Kapha — rather than a single label. Most people are dual-dosha types (such as Vata-Pitta or Pitta-Kapha), and our quiz captures this nuance.
The quiz takes approximately 2 minutes and requires no signup or personal information. All processing happens in your browser — we never store your responses on our servers.

Meet VaidyaPrakriti vs. Vikriti: Constitution and Imbalance
A key concept in Ayurveda is the distinction between Prakriti and Vikriti. Your Prakriti is your birth constitution — the unique dosha ratio you were born with. It remains stable throughout your life and represents your natural state of health and balance.
Your Vikriti, on the other hand, reflects your current state — where imbalances may have developed due to diet, lifestyle, stress, seasonal changes, or age. When Vikriti deviates significantly from Prakriti, you may notice physical or emotional symptoms.
The goal of Ayurvedic wellness is to bring your Vikriti back into alignment with your Prakriti through appropriate diet, daily routines, meditation, and lifestyle adjustments. Retaking this quiz periodically can help you track how your current state shifts with the seasons and life changes.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a dosha in Ayurveda?
In Ayurveda, a dosha is one of three fundamental bio-energies — Vata (air + ether), Pitta (fire + water), and Kapha (earth + water) — that govern all physical and mental processes. Everyone has a unique combination of all three doshas, with one or two typically dominant. This combination is your Prakriti (natural constitution).
How is this quiz different from other dosha quizzes online?
Our quiz analyses 8 dimensions of your physical and mental traits based on classical Prakriti assessment methods. Rather than a simple majority-rules approach, we calculate percentage scores for each dosha to show your full constitutional profile — including dual-dosha types like Vata-Pitta or Pitta-Kapha.
Can my dosha change over time?
Your Prakriti (birth constitution) remains constant throughout your life. However, your Vikriti (current state of imbalance) changes with diet, lifestyle, stress, seasons, and age. Retaking the quiz periodically helps you understand your current imbalances so you can adjust your routine accordingly.
