I
Cognitive style Intuitive
You read the rally as it unfolds. Less script, more instinct — your best shots come from feel, not the pre-game plan.

A Assertive
V Venturous
E Expressive
Your four axis reads.
Every letter in IAVE is one of the four DinkType axes. Here's how each one shows up in your game.
A
Court energy Assertive
You drive tactics, call positioning, and set the tempo. Your partner can lean on you for the next move.
V
Risk appetite Venturous
You try the bold attempt — the third-shot lob, the ATP, the creative kitchen exchange. Bigger ceiling, bigger swings.
E
Emotional read Expressive
Your energy is visible — fist pumps, big calls, audible exhales. You rally the team with what you wear on the court.
What IAVE does well — and where to watch.
Every letter in your code carries a strength AND a blind spot. Lean into the first column; keep an eye on the second.
Your strengths
- I Reads the moment fast; turns surprise into opportunity.
- A Owns positioning and pace; keeps the team organised.
- V Wins points outright with creative shot selection.
- E Lifts the team energy; visible momentum swings.
Watch for
- I Can drift without a shared plan — agree the basics with your partner first.
- A Can overpower a quieter partner — make space for their reads.
- V Higher unforced error rate — pick spots; don't force the highlight every rally.
- E Frustration shows fast — reset between points so it doesn't snowball.
