Abstract

BACKGROUND: It is known that the practice of modern medicine would become more effective if Tridosha and Triguna assessment is incorporated into the tools of investigations. AIM AND OBJECTIVE: The present study is designed to correlate Tridosa personality assessment software (Ayusoft) with Dhanvantari personality inventory (DPI) and Triguna personality inventory (GI) in healthy yoga practitioners. METHODOLOGY: 50 healthy yoga practitioners (25 females) in the age range of 20-40 years from Dhrti Yoga Studio, Bangalore were participated in the study. The DPI and GI questionnaires were administered to the same subject on two consecutive days. RESULTS: The results from Ayusoft showed that 22 % of subjects were in Vata, 14% were in Pitta and 32% were in Kapha. The DPI analysis showed that there were 16 % in Vata, 24% in Pitta and 40% in Kapha. The results showed significant correlation between Ayusoft and DPI at r=0.67 for Vata, r=0.29 for Pitta and r=0.66 for Kapha. Similarly, Ayusoft showed that there was 98 % of subjects were in Sattva, 2% in Rajas and 0% were in Tamas. The GI analysis showed that there were 52 % in Sattva, 48% in Rajas and 0% in Tamas.
