Here is a detailed overview of the CCRAS-PAS (Central Council for Research in Ayurvedic Sciences - Prakriti Assessment Scale) based on the published instrument and available documentation:

CCRAS-PAS: Standardized Prakriti Assessment Scale

Background

The CCRAS-PAS was developed by the Central Council for Research in Ayurvedic Sciences (CCRAS), Ministry of AYUSH, Government of India. It is the most widely recognized standardized tool for Prakriti (Ayurvedic body constitution) assessment in research settings across India.

Structure of the Scale

The CCRAS-PAS is a structured questionnaire designed to assess the three primary Prakriti types:

Vata (V)
Pitta (P)
Kapha (K)

The scale covers 7 domains with a total of 58 attributes (questions), each scored on a 3-point Likert scale:

1 = Rarely / Never
2 = Sometimes
3 = Always / Mostly

Scoring and Interpretation

Score Range	Prakriti Classification
Highest single dosha score	Ekadoshaja (pure type: V, P, or K)
Two doshas roughly equal	Dwandwaja (dual: VP, VK, PK)
All three roughly equal	Tridoshaja / Sama Prakriti

The dosha with the highest cumulative score across all 58 items is the dominant Prakriti.
The scale also allows deriving Deha Prakriti (physical/body type) and Manasa Prakriti (psychological type) sub-scores separately.

Reliability and Validity

The CCRAS-PAS has been evaluated in several multi-centric studies conducted by CCRAS across India. It demonstrates:

High inter-rater reliability when administered by trained Ayurveda physicians
Convergent validity with classical Ayurvedic texts (Charaka Samhita, Ashtanga Hridayam)
The scale was validated in studies involving thousands of participants across multiple CCRAS institutes

Important Notes on Administration

The scale must be administered by a trained Ayurvedic physician or trained assessor.
Questions are answered based on lifelong tendencies - not current (diseased/altered) states.
Attributes altered by disease, drugs, season, or age should be discounted.
The assessment should reflect the individual's constitution since birth / childhood.
For research use, the official CCRAS version should be obtained directly from CCRAS publications (Ministry of AYUSH).
