Assessment of Constitution
To assess your Prakruti, fill out following form and mark the answer to your own personal long term nature. If two answers apply for the same question, mark them both. If none is applicable leave it blank. Then tally each column with the most marks in your Prakruti, the column with the second largest number is your secondary Prakruti. For example if you score 18 Vata, 7 Pitta, and 4 Kapha: then your Prakruti is VataPitta.

strength and stamina, insomnia, pains and aches in the body: rough and dry skin, too much sensitiveness to cold, severe constipation, palpitation, anxiety, nervousness, agitated, and impatient behavior, constant feeling of shyness or insecurity, restlessness and feeling of spaced out.

Pitta Vikruti
Acidity, heartburn, fever, inflammation, ulcers in stomach or intestines, acne, bleeding disorders, skin rashes, hot flushes, diarrhea and dysentery are common features. These persons are prone to become angry, irritable, hostile, impatient and frustrated. They may have argumentative and aggressive attitude.

Kapha Vikruti
Classical symptoms include weight gain, lethargy, and sluggishness, tendency of water retention, mucous congestion, nausea and vomiting. These individuals also become depressive, sad and may develop greedy attitude.

Importance of understanding Constitution

Tolerance of food, drinks, environment depends on the type of constitution. This cannot be decided by the analytical study of the body tissues. By understanding the constitution of individual, one can choose appropriate food, drinks and environment. As there is predominance of dosha in such individual, they require substances opposite to the constitution to maintain health. For example Vata constitution will be having predominance for dry, light, cold qualities, hence to maintain health, these individuals will require opposite qualities e.g. oily, heavy and warm quality food, drinks and environment; otherwise there is always a tendency to increase Vata, giving rise to Vata diseases.
