Pitta Kapha Dosha Quiz

Hey! Your result shows that you have a dual prakruti! This means that you are influenced by two doshas, in your case Pitta and Kapha, with the first one being more dominant than the other. Together, they influence various aspects of your personality.
Read more below.

Medium frame (Pitta), really large (Kapha)
Really bulky with a sizeable muscular mass
Soft, oily, radiant skin, prone to pimples, boils, discoloration, freckles and sunburn
May sweat profusely, with or without a strong odor
Can have either thick (Kapha) or thin (Pitta) hair
May have early graying of hair, hair loss and an oily scalp
Pleasing personality, round features, little fat or plump appearance
Strong and doesn’t fall ill easily

Excessive exposure to cold can give phlegmatic disorders like sinus, colds and coughs
May occasionally suffer from high-grade fever and respiratory tract problems
Good appetite and digestive capacity, indigestion due to excessive sweets and dairy products
May have high cholesterol and diabetic tendencies

Sharpness, intelligence, passion, assertiveness, and courage (fueled by the intensity of Pitta) coupled with stability, balance and slowness (Kapha)
This coupled with a fairly strong body makes you a capable & result-oriented leader
May perform very well in competitive sports
Tend to be assertive, intellectually sharp, determined, persistent, and calm (when both doshas are not aggravated)
Impatient, dictatorial, sarcastic, angry (Pitta features) and show inertia or escapism (Kapha features) if either or both of them are aggravated
Sound, but not heavy sleep
However, if the Kapha in your Prakriti is aggravated, it can make you sleep longer and cause lethargy
Have a pretty sharp memory and a good retention power
Primary dosha Pitta makes you passionate and possessive about loved ones
