Personality Quiz for Health

So, you like Personality Quizzes?

I do too! They are fun, and generally anything that helps us to know ourselves and others better is a good thing.

Here is one that may actually be useful to you for improving your health.

First the disclaimers:

  • This quiz is not a diagnosis or scientifically conclusive. It is based on my own studies in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), and is subjective.
  • Traditional Chinese Medicine is founded on millenniums of scientific observational study. It is valid, and one of many methods used for diagnosing and treating illness.
  • Food Highs focus involves Health and Food ONLY – If you do an internet search, you will find that it is common for people to combine principles of TCM with spiritual entities, including astrology. This neither validates nor invalidates TCM. Chinese Medicine principles are widely used by multitudes of people who do not subscribe to astrology.

That said, you can increase your knowledge with this quiz. And it can offer you some very useful “food for thought” for methods to improve your health! TCM looks at, and treats, the whole person, not just the symptoms. After taking the quiz, you may want to learn more. If so, click here.
