Step 2: Interpret Your Results

Section One — Your Basic Nature

Section one of the quiz applies to your basic nature and the proportion of each of the three principles (or Doshas) that you have within your unique mind body constitution. This section reflects the amount of each of these principles you came into the world with. Your score in Section One reflects your basic nature. These characteristics tend to change slowly over your lifetime.

The principle that received the highest score in Section One is the most predominant force in your overall mind body make-uip. The principle that received the next highest number of checks is the secondary force in your constitution. The lowest scoring principle, while still an active force in your mind body physiology, is the least dominant in your particular constitution.

Section Two — A Question of Balance

Section Two provides a snapshot of your current mind body state.

• The mind principle with the highest points is the one primarily governing your mind and emotions at this time.
• The body principle with the highest points is the one primarily governing your body at this time.
• If your mind score is different from your body score, it is recommended that your follow the dosha diet and use the appropriate dosha teas and spice blends that correspond to your highest body score.
