For each question, select one answer out of the five options. Remember that since we are assessing your constitution and not just a sudden uprising of symptoms, you need to read these statements as though you are looking at a lifetime of patterns. For instance, one of the questions reads, “When it comes to a large social gathering . . . _____.” The options include “No thanks,” “Bring it on,” and so forth. When you answer, choose the response that reflects something that you have noticed for most of your life as opposed to something you have felt on occasion. For example, we have all had times when we feel antisocial and want to reject an invitation, but is that your usual reaction to large social gatherings? Or would that be rare for you? You will want to give it the highest score if it is your primary reaction.
After you have taken the quiz, tally up the numbers in each column. You will end up with five columns of numbers. Take the highest number and note the element that it is associated with. This element will be considered your primary element and therefore, your constitution. If you have a tie between two elements, then consider it a wonderful opportunity to learn about both of the elements that show up strongly in your constitution. Regardless of having a tie, it’s important to learn about all of the elements, since you are made up of all of them, and they each play a pivotal role in your life.
