How do I determine MY
BIO-INDIVIDUALITY?

We are all different. We have different genetics, different body types, different lifestyles and live in different environments. This quiz is designed to identify your unique bio-individuality type, or in other terms, your dosha. Once determined, you can use this information to make lifestyle, dietary and supplement choices that are best suited for you.

Please check the answer that best describes you. If multiple answers describe you, you can check more than one answer. Answer the questions based upon your long-term tendencies and not according to how you feel today. As with all self-reporting assessments, you are answering based on what you think rather than necessarily what you are, so you may need to ask someone who knows you really well. Enjoy!
