I got the Vata body type — Space & Air. For the most part, the description felt accurate, (I’m not particularly tall or slender, though; I am short and curvy), and I am going to keep the diet recommendations in mind. However, it said I was an ectomorph in Western science, but I am definitely a mesomorph, so I’m a bit uncertain about this. I took the quiz twice, because there were a few times, I was torn between two answers, but it didn’t matter. I got Vata/Space and Air both times. Is it possible to have this Vata Dosha while actually being considered a mesomorph in Western science?
I got the Kapha Body type with water and earth, I did the elements test too and got water so it’s very accurate, it’s funny that it says kaphas have excellent health and hate cold weather when I’m the exact opposite! Lol
My dody type is a kapha. That is cool. I do agree with lots of things about a kapha. I’ve been through lots of them myself.
This test is pretty accurate, I got the same as in other similar quizzes I’ve done and it fits me quite well, particularly the food recommendations! I love most of the ones listed here. The recommended sleep patterns also fit as I recently discovered. Thanks for all of these tests and articles!
Thanks Laura!
Glad I found link!! Interesting stuff-spot on!
Supa accurate
Love all of this, I’m thankful and grateful to have run across this link! I support.
Lord have MERCY! Y’all have been reading my mail! Incredible. I’m flabbergasted! I’ve had a good 55 years to get to know myself, and about 5 to admit to the “Pitta” defects of character, but I truly am intrigued with y’all. From Kansas City Missouri and wishing everyone a healthy self-isolation!
I fit this description well but don’t get why wheat makes the list of recommended foods as it’s notoriously difficult to digest and causes inflammation. Need further study as I have inflammatory illnesses. Thanks for the quiz!
I do not eat but very few grains. Am a Celiac so Wheat is out and so is corn which I am sensitive to. I think like everything, take into account that they probably mean it is whole grain forms. I will stick with Brown rice and low carbs for the most part. And very low sugar or processed foods.
Alright,When i fear & frustrated i use those tips to overcome till then the path of self experience may not get detached.
But to focus on how to focus what is that fear?bcz at that time exactly mind has loosed some of its sharpness
