You can tell a lot about someone's dosha just by saying, "Tell me about yourself."
If the first thing the focus on is work, they are likely to be Pitta dominant. Pitta people tend to formulate self identity in relation to their careers. They value achievement at work, being in positions of respect, and being perceived as knowledgable. Driven by fire, these types are ambitious and career-driven.
If someone answers you by telling you about their family, they are likely to be Kapha dominant. Kapha people formulate their self identity by nurturing and caring for others. These types value family connections above all else. Being driven by water and earth, Kaphas are natural caretakers.
If someone takes you literally and tells you about who they are internally and what their philosophy of life is, they are likely a Vata type ("I like...", "I often think..."). When imbalanced, these are the types who will talk for a long time when given the chance, covering a wide range of topics. Vata types, being driven by air and space, are inconsistent and tend to feel lonely.
Beginning to notice how people speak and what topics they focus on is a fun way to practice analyzing doshas. It can also be enlightening to learn about yourself. What do you tend to focus on when given the chance to talk about yourself or when meeting new people?
