Your questionnaire results indicated a predominance of Pitta Characteristics
The theme of the Pitta type is fiery and intense.
Pitta dosha is strong in the elements of fire and a little water.
Pitta is the hot dosha, governing all heat, metabolism and transformation in the mind and body. It processes food, air, and water through the entire system and converts these elements into energy. Pitta also helps with the digestion and assimilation of experiences, thoughts and feelings, and how we discriminate between right and wrong. Key qualities are hot, sharp and moist:
- Hot leading to strong digestion, warm, joyous personalities and a fondness for cold food and drink.
- Sharp leading to physical strength, sharpness of mind and speech, purposeful activity and desire for perfection.
- Moist leading to profuse perspiration, hot sweaty palms and an aversion to hot, humid weather.

When in balance, Pittas are good decision makers, teachers and speakers. They are precise, sharp-witted, direct and often outspoken. They have a lustrous complexion, perfect digestion, abundant energy, and a strong appetite.
When out of balance, Pittas may suffer from skin rashes, burning sensations, peptic ulcers, excessive body heat, heartburn, and indigestion. When stressed they can be short-tempered and argumentative and their typical response is "What did you do wrong?"
