About This Quiz

Amongst the five types of Dharma lies a lot of wisdom and insight. Let's examine your spiritual and physical energies to learn which type you are. Once you know, you'll be set to begin a more enlightened journey toward the future.

Dharma is associated with finding your proper place in the world. In a sense, Dharma is the philosophy that our experiences lead us toward our life purpose. While you will inevitably end up doing what you are supposed to do in life, knowing the directions you should nurture and head into make things happen with much more ease. Gracefully heading into your life's purpose could give new meaning to anything you may be going through. Dharma encompasses the belief that everything is predestined. You can take heart that you are doing well and that you are well on your way to fulfilling your life's meaning.

Share your life and your attitudes with us, and we will be able to accurately make sure you know your specific Dharma type. Will you be the educator or something else?  We're here to help you find out!
