​
Congratulations on completing the What's Your Dosha Quiz! Add up how many A’s, B’s and C’s you’ve selected. The letter you have the most of reveals your primary dosha. If your answers are fairly balanced across all three, you may have a combination of doshas (dual-dosha) or even all three (tridoshic).

 

Remember, this quiz is a starting point to discover your dosha and learn how to create more balance in your life.
