What your code means

Your four axis reads.

Every letter in IHCM is one of the four DinkType axes. Here's how each one shows up in your game.

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.

H
Court energy

Harmonic

You adapt to your partner's rhythm and keep the partnership in sync. Cooperative over directive — the team is the point.

C
Risk appetite

Conservative

You grind percentage play. Smart shots, low unforced errors, attrition wins — the score moves your way over time.

M
Emotional read

Measured

Cool under pressure. The tightest score doesn't change how you play; your partner reads your composure off the body language.

Your tendencies

What IHCM 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.
  • H Mirrors partners well; reduces friction on shared tactics.
  • C Minimises unforced errors; builds points patiently.
  • M Steady under pressure; partners trust the read.

Watch for

  • I Can drift without a shared plan — agree the basics with your partner first.
  • H May defer too much — speak up when you've spotted something they haven't.
  • C Can be predictable — mix in one creative shot per game to keep opponents honest.
  • M Can read as flat — a little visible energy helps partners stay in sync.
