Count your + marks for each letter (A through E) across both sections. The letter with the most + marks is your Fullest element. The letter with the fewest is your Emptiest. Both matter — the fullest element shapes how you express yourself, while the emptiest element reveals where you may welcome more nourishment and growth.
Use these questions and your results to create five statements about yourself that feel accurate. These statements, along with your scores, help identify your constitutional type according to the Five-Phase model.
