Vehicle Quiz
Helicopter
With a few people on board, you lift straight up and fly lightly wherever you want to go.
A helicopter rises by spinning large blades above its head. It doesn't need a long runway: it can lift straight up from where it stands and move forward, back or sideways. It can also hold still in one spot in midair.
It only carries a few people, but in exchange it's nimble and can land where there's no wide open space. You also move lightly with a few people, decide where to go on the spot, and take off the moment an idea strikes. You can head straight for the place you're after and stop dead right above it.
In how far it can fly in one go, a helicopter usually can't match an airplane. You can dart here and there quickly, but keeping the same pace over a long haul can leave you out of breath. For a distant goal, deciding on a few places to rest along the way keeps you light on your feet.
Strengths
- Once an idea strikes, you can get moving right away with a few people
- You can change direction on the spot to fit the situation
- You can head straight for where you need to be, by the shortest way
Where you may stumble
- On long-running plans, your energy tends to dip partway through
- Because you move so fast, you've set off before letting anyone know
- When a crowd needs to get in step, the waiting is frustrating
Sounds familiar, Helicopter?
- When you remember an errand, you head straight out to do it
- On trips, the best part is dropping by places you hadn't planned on
- Plans made on the spot with two or three people come up more often than big get-togethers
Where you shine
Errands a few people need to rush, or outings where the destination is decided on the spot. You lift off lightly, so things take shape fast.
Tips for “Helicopter”
- Break long plans up with a few rest stops along the way
- Before you take off, spend just 10 seconds checking your things and where you're going
- On days when you move with a crowd, bring one thing you can do while you wait

Bobsleigh — The Bobsleigh, too, carries a small group and moves fast. The Helicopter picks its route as it flies and the Bobsleigh slides down a set course, but you share the thrill of moving quickly with just a few.
Canoe — The Canoe can slip into narrow waterways that big ships can't enter. Like the Helicopter, which can land where there's no open space, it enjoys going where others don't go.
Streetcar — The Helicopter chooses where to land on the spot, while the Streetcar has fixed stops. Your ideas of where to stop are different, so when you make plans together, you tend to get out of sync starting with where to meet.
