Which TCM Body Type Are You?
Traditional Chinese medicine describes nine body types (体质) — one balanced, eight that lean a certain way. Answer 8 honest questions about how you actually feel, and we'll show which constitution you tend toward, plus gentle food, tea, and foot-bath directions. A self-awareness tool, not a diagnosis.
Based on the nine-constitution framework (Wang Qi, 2009), presented for wellness education by Chinese Wellness Self-Care

About the nine body types
Chinese medicine groups people's everyday tendencies into nine body types. One is Balanced (平和质) — steady energy, good sleep, even mood. The other eight each lean a certain way. Most people are a mix: one dominant tendency, with a secondary one that shows up under stress, season, or tiredness. This quiz surfaces your dominant lean, so you know where to direct gentle self-care.
A 2-minute self-report can't capture everything a full intake reads — tongue, pulse, history, digestion patterns. Think of it as a compass heading, not a map. For the full map, the $39 Assessment goes much deeper.
FAQ
Is this a medical diagnosis?
No. Body-type language is educational vocabulary for everyday tendencies, not a clinical claim. It can't diagnose, treat, or rule out any condition. If something troubles you, please see a qualified healthcare provider.
Why do I score high on more than one type?
That's normal. Most people are a blend — a dominant tendency plus a secondary one. The quiz shows both when they're close. The full Assessment untangles which is driving what.
Does my body type change?
Your underlying constitution is relatively stable, but how it shows up shifts with season, stress, sleep, diet, and age. Retaking this quiz every few months, or after a big life change, can show a different lean.
