Check your answers again, or have a friend go over your responses with you. However, this type is considered rarest of all. If your three scores are nearly equal, you may be a three-dosha type. If this was your score, you would consider yourself to be a Pitta-Vata type.

A two-dosha type might have a score like this: Vata - 80, Pitta - 90, Kapha - 20. Most people are two-dosha types. The higher one comes first in your body type, but both count. If you are a two-dosha type, the traits of your two leading doshas will predominate. Your own sleep/dream/wakeful cycle is, or should be, an expression of this pervasive natural harmony.
