I Could be a Visionary, Indecisive, or Mentally Disturbed. It Depends.

I took this quiz to discover my Dosha. I don't know exactly what that means, but I think it has something to do with determining which products I'm supposed to be buying off of the website.

Here's the premise:

According to ayurveda, the ancient Asian healing system, each human being has a primary element of nature -- kapha, vata or pitta -- that most influences their mind, body and emotions. Each of us also has one of these three elements that will tend to get out of balance more easily than the others. This is our dosha, literally "that which is at fault".

And here are the results:

You are a Vata person. Vata people are like the wind. Their moods change quickly, and they often move on to new pursuits before finishing old projects. Generally, imaginative, exciting, and excitable, Vatas move at a hectic pace. When balanced, Vata types are often artistic visionaries. Idealistic and spiritual, they have a strong sense of unity and are often healers and teachers. A Vata out of balance may be indecisive, unreliable, restless, overly talkative, superficial and anxious. If completely out of balance, Vata people can be fearful, secretive, depressed, mentally disturbed and even suicidal.

The Vata body may be thin due to inefficient methods of expending energy. Vatas prefer warm climates, food and drink, and may become especially moody and anxious if they miss a meal. Lacking endurance, Vatas often need time to recuperate; they thrive on healing massage and total relaxation. A regular schedule can help dispel their anxieties and promote inner harmony.
