What is the content of the TCM constitution test form?

Taking tests is something that everyone has experienced. It uses questions and answers to judge one's physical condition based on one's answers. This is the function of the TCM constitution test form. In this relaxed atmosphere, one can test one's own constitution without going to the hospital for treatment. Although the accuracy is not high, it can still be predicted.

On April 9, 2009, the standard "Classification and Determination of Traditional Chinese Medicine Constitution" was officially released. This standard is the first document in my country to guide and regulate the research and application of traditional Chinese medicine constitution. It aims to provide a basis for constitution identification and the prevention and treatment of diseases related to traditional Chinese medicine constitution, health care, and health management, making constitution classification scientific and standardized.

The standard-setting work for "Classification and Determination of Constitution in Traditional Chinese Medicine" was officially launched in June 2006. It is supervised by the State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine and compiled by the Constitution Branch of the Chinese Association of Traditional Chinese Medicine. The standard is divided into five parts: scope, terms and definitions, 9 basic classifications and characteristics of TCM constitutions, determination of TCM constitution classifications, and appendix (TCM constitution classification and determination table). Scholars of TCM constitution have classified human constitution according to human morphological structure, physiological functions, psychological characteristics and reaction states, and developed a TCM constitution scale and the "TCM Constitution Classification and Determination" standard. This standard applies multidisciplinary methods such as Chinese medicine constitution, genetics, epidemiology, psychometrics, and mathematical statistics. It was established after many discussions and demonstrations by Chinese medicine constitution experts, clinical experts, and epidemiology experts. A nationwide epidemiological survey of 21,948 cases was conducted, showing good adaptability and feasibility.

Determination method

1 Answer all the questions in the "Classification and Determination Table of Traditional Chinese Medicine Constitution". Each question is scored on a 5-level scale. Calculate the original score and converted score, and determine the constitution type according to the standard.

2 Raw score = the scores of each item will be added together.

3 Conversion score = [(original score - number of items) / (number of items × 4)] × 100
