The BPI is a self-report questionnaire, developed and psychometrically validated in a study of 1,857 adults, using multiple correspondence analysis, latent class analysis and item response theory. This questionnaire has been developed from Bhargav H, Chikkanna U, Holla B, et al. Wellcome Open Res. 2026;10:669. Item wording is reproduced verbatim from the published instrument.
Your scores
The scores above reflect your Prakriti - your fixed mind-body constitution set at birth - from the BPI self-report questionnaire, a developed and psychometrically validated tool (Bhargav et al., Wellcome Open Research). This is different from Vikriti, your current state of balance or imbalance.
How this is scored
Each of the 21 items scores one point to the dosha you chose. Your raw totals are converted to percentages by dividing by 21. The three always add up to 100%.
