Sattva
Sattva is associated with clarity, light, harmony, and discernment. In modern life it can look like deliberate attention: using information and technology without being immediately ruled by them.

The framework
What are the three Gunas?
In Sanatana Dharma, the gunas are qualities of prakriti that colour experience and action. The Guna Snapshot focuses on how Sattva, Rajas, and Tamas may be expressing in your life right now.
Rajas
Rajas is associated with movement, desire, striving, and attachment to action. It can energize work and ambition, while also appearing as urgency, comparison, stimulation-seeking, or difficulty stopping.
Tamas
Tamas is associated with inertia, obscuration, and resistance. In digital life it may appear as avoidance, passive consumption, or disengagement. Ordinary sleep and necessary recovery should not be reduced to a moral or clinical label.
None of the gunas is inherently good or bad — they describe tendencies that shift with context and practice. See also the three Gunas overview and Snapshot methodology.
What does this Guna test measure?
The Guna Snapshot maps how Sattva, Rajas, and Tamas express in your life right now — in daily habits, emotional tone, work orientation, relationships, and inner practice. It reflects present tendencies, not innate temperament or a fixed type.
Results are deterministic: the same answers produce the same percentage pattern. This is self-reflection grounded in classical Dharma, not clinical or psychometric assessment.
What will I receive?
After 15 questions you receive an immediate result showing percentage tendencies across Sattva, Rajas, and Tamas, with brief reflection on your current pattern. Mixed or balanced patterns are valid — the Snapshot does not require one dominant guna.
Optional deeper quotient assessments on AUMQuotient offer longer reflections if you want more depth after your Snapshot.

Is this a personality test?
The Guna Snapshot is a present-state reflection, not a permanent personality classification. It does not assign you a fixed type, predict behaviour, or claim clinical validation. Gunas shift — your result describes tendencies visible now, intended for quiet self-understanding.
