DETERMINEZ  VOTRE  CONSTITUTION


DETERMINATION OF THE PRAKRITI
BY THE WAY OF INTERROGATION


Tha aim of this questionnaire is to determine your basic morpho-psychologic constitution
(Prakriti of birth).

For each question you have the choice between 4 answers : "0", "1", "2", ou "3".

You can only select one answer and it is the last that will be taken into consideration.

If you think that the answer is corresponding perfectly, then select the answer : "3".
If you think that the answer is corresponding well, then select the answer : "2".
If you think that the answer is corresponding enough well, then select the answer : "1".

The value "0" is used only to avoid restarting the questionnaire from the beginning if you make a mistake.
(If, after selecting an answer you want to avoid the question, then select the answer :"0").

This questionnaire is composed by 2 types of questions :

- those related to your body and physiology (objectives questions) : answers "3" normaly.
- those related to your personality (subjectives questions) : answers "1", "2" ou "3".


This questionnaire is conceived to determine your Prakriti (birth constitution) and not your Vikruti (actual constitution) which can be more or less different.

Consequently, go in your memories several years back or up to your chilhood if necessary but above all take in consideration the periods when you were healthy.

Answer the more honestly possible in your own interest even if the answer seems sometimes not very pleasant.

Before starting this questionnaire, relax yourself for a few minutes then take your pulse and note it down.

Then take a mirror eventually if you have one and/or take the advice of somebody who knows you well (parent or friend) to help you to answer and start answering.


We wish you a pleasant and rich moment !
