My Total Kapha Score _______
If the difference between the scores of two doshas is less than 10 points, then you might be a two-dosha constitution. For example, Vata 68, Pitta 75, Kapha 44 is a Pitta-Vata body type. This person will have some Vata attributes and some Pitta attributes physically, mentally, and emotionally. If all three doshas are within 10 points you might be a tridoshic body type.
