What TCM Pattern Do I Have?

This quiz is educational and offers a simple Traditional Chinese Medicine pattern reflection based on your symptoms. It is not a medical diagnosis. Many people have a combination of patterns, and a full assessment includes conversation, observation, pulse, and tongue.

You may select up to two answers per question if more than one applies.

You may also enter an optional Western diagnosis or health concern. If you use an abbreviation, the quiz may ask you to clarify what you mean.

If your result is close between patterns, you may be asked one additional clarifying question.

If your symptoms are severe, sudden, or concerning, please seek appropriate medical care.

Optional: Do you have a known Western diagnosis?

This is optional and is only used to help tailor an extra follow-up question.

Diagnosis or health concern

Before we begin: is your condition related to an injury, body pain, or a musculoskeletal issue?

This helps tailor the quiz for orthopedic concerns.
