Doves are about consistency and calm.
In the Teska Type System™, women who are by nature reserved are known as Doves. With their lower (for a woman) baseline levels of testosterone, they’re inherently more reserved than Foxes. They like to socialize in smaller groups, with people who are familiar to them.
At work, the priorities of Doves are structure, calm, and consistency. They like to keep things organized, and work independently or with the leader of a group. In romance, a Dove wants a man who complements her, a man who’s focused and steady: a straightforward Hawk.
There are two different types of Doves.
With their high and similar baseline levels of oxytocin, Doves have two adjacent general talents, Gathering and Tending:
| Gathering Dove | Gentle and refined | More structured |
| Tending Dove | Kind and serene | More domestic |
