The mind and body are equal partners in terms of health and happiness. Just as the three doshas represent our physical constitution type, there are three gunas or qualities that reflect our psychic makeup.
Sattva is the ideal state of mind, which Ayurveda promotes as the ultimate psychic state of being that the other two should always aspire towards. For attaining this ideal state, Ayurveda prescribes enhancing one's Sattvic qualities, while working towards a steady minimization of the other two.
Psychological Constitution Test To find out your Ayurvedic constitution, select one quality from each row that best describes your physical qualities. After you have finished taking the test, submit your responses. The category with the maximum score is supposedly your predominant dosha or Ayurvedic constitution. Very often there are two (equal or almost equal) predominant doshas. This indicates that you have a dual constitution. Rarely does one have a tridoshic constitution, which is a combination of all the three Ayurvedic doshas.
