Here’s a 45-question Vikriti (current imbalance) test from Ayurveda.
Unlike Prakriti (your lifelong nature), this reflects how you are right now—your present state of imbalance.
Your responses suggest a predominance of Vata imbalance, which is associated with the elements of air and space. Vata governs movement in the body and mind, including thoughts, circulation, breathing, and the nervous system.
When Vata is elevated, it often presents as anxiety, restlessness, irregular digestion, difficulty sleeping, and a sense of feeling ungrounded or overwhelmed. You may notice fluctuations in energy, sensitivity to stimulation (noise, screens, people), or a tendency toward dryness (skin, digestion, or joints).
This pattern typically reflects a system that is overstimulated and depleted, often due to a fast-paced lifestyle, inconsistent routines, stress, or lack of rest and nourishment.
Support for Vata focuses on creating stability and calm in both body and mind. This includes:
Bringing Vata back into balance helps restore a sense of calm, focus, warmth, and steady energy.
Your responses indicate a predominance of Pitta imbalance, which is associated with the elements of fire and water. Pitta governs metabolism, digestion, and transformation—both physically and mentally.
When Pitta is elevated, it often shows up as irritability, intensity, overheating, inflammation, digestive discomfort (such as acid reflux), and a tendency toward perfectionism or burnout. You may feel driven and focused, but also easily frustrated or mentally overextended.
This pattern typically reflects a system that is overheated and overdriven, often due to high stress, ambition, pressure, or a tendency to push beyond natural limits.
Support for Pitta focuses on cooling, calming, and moderating intensity. This includes:
Bringing Pitta into balance supports a return to clarity, patience, balanced energy, and healthy digestion.
Your responses suggest a predominance of Kapha imbalance, which is associated with the elements of earth and water. Kapha governs structure, stability, and lubrication in the body.
When Kapha is elevated, it often presents as low energy, heaviness, sluggish digestion, weight gain, mental fog, and resistance to change. You may feel stuck, unmotivated, or prone to withdrawing emotionally or physically.
This pattern typically reflects a system that is under-stimulated or stagnant, often due to lack of movement, routine inertia, or excess comfort and inactivity.
Support for Kapha focuses on stimulation, movement, and lightness. This includes:
Balancing Kapha helps restore motivation, clarity, energy, and a sense of forward movement.
