The Required Bio

So I've been reading this book entitled The Path of Practice: A Woman's Book of Ayurvedic Healing. The practices you follow are based on your body type or dosha. To determine your dosha you are invited to answer various questions. The questions for the Pitta are:

Do you excel in doing more than one activity at the same time?
Do you tend to remain completely focused on your tasks?
Do you learn quickly and forget slowly?
Do you gain weight easily and lose it easily?
Do you get ravenously hungry and love to eat?
Do you like to be around successful people?
Do you sleep lightly and moderately?
Do you have violent, fiery dreams on occasion?
Do you tend to be ambitions?

For me, the answer to all of those questions is Yes--generally a resounding yes echoing through a large chamber with one exception. My dreams are not vivid. Ever. I rarely remember them.

So we then turn a little ways farther along in the book and find this description of the Pitta person:

Element: Fire/Water
Energy: Hot
Texture: Oily, Soft
Temperament: Fiery, Vibrant
Emotional Strength: Materially Adept, Visionary
Emotional Weakness: Indulgent, Aggressive
Body Type: Athletic, Well Shaped
Complexion: Yellowish or Reddish

It is about as accurate as any of these sorts of things ever are. I have two different sides to my brain (more than that really, but just two I want to focus on for a moment). One side is very rational. It is the well-educated, deliberating, scientific, and skeptical. The other side is open to everything: including magic, unicorns, and a belief that the good in the world vastly outweighs the bad. My mystical side believes everything, including contradictions, until it is convinced to disbelieve. I can't say until something is proven wrong, because proof does little to sway the mystic in me--the feeling must change and that is as precise as I can be to explain it. Mind you, when I use the word "feeling" it is more than an emotional feeling. It is also a mental and physical and metaphysical sense as well. It is the holistic impression.

Mostly, however, people only see the rational side. And they don't always think it is all that rational because I tend to come up with very crazy schemes for moving across the world and living in my own personal utopia with a select few friends who may come and go as they please.
