Vehicle Quiz
Airplane
With lots of people on board, you climb into the sky and pick your route by the clouds and wind.
An airplane rises on the flow of air over its wings and carries large numbers of people a long way at once. There are no rails in the sky, and even within its assigned air route, a plane adjusts its altitude and path to suit the day's winds.
Airplanes can get off the ground in a shorter distance by taking off into the wind. Whether a flight can ride the strong westerly winds high above can make the same trip take different times in each direction. In the same way, you lead a crowd and push forward fast, picking your route on the spot as you read which way the wind is blowing.
Before an airplane can take off, it needs a long runway and many checks. You want to take everyone far in one go, so until everyone is ready, you may feel impatient at not being able to move. Splitting up roles while you're still getting ready gets you into the air sooner.
Strengths
- You can lead a crowd and boldly go a long way
- You can read the situation and change course on the spot
- Even when some people object, you can take that into account and still get going
Where you may stumble
- Until everyone is ready, you feel restless about not being able to move
- You forget to tell the people following you that you've changed course
- Because you move with a crowd, you're slow when you need to make quick turns on your own
Sounds familiar, Airplane?
- You plan trips on a grand scale, but decide how to get around once you've arrived
- When a few of you go out, you find you're walking at the front
- You've changed a trip's destination on the morning you left
Where you shine
Heading for a far-off goal with lots of people, or plans that are likely to change along the way. You read the wind and pick your route, so you can carry everyone a long way.
Tips for “Airplane”
- When you change course, tell the people following you right then
- While you wait for everyone to get ready, get one thing done that you can do first
- Errands you can handle alone, take care of lightly without pulling a crowd along

Helicopter — The Helicopter is a fellow flier, free in the sky. The Airplane takes crowds far from a long runway, and the Helicopter can lift off with a few people even from a tight spot, so the two of you can split the work of the skies.
Sailing Ship — The Sailing Ship also picks its route by the wind. For an Airplane hurrying somewhere far off, the Sailing Ship's unhurried way with the wind shows a different way to use the same breeze.
Ferris Wheel — The Airplane takes crowds somewhere far off, while the Ferris Wheel takes a few people around and back to where they started. Your sense of how far “going somewhere” means is different, so when you plan an outing together, you tend to drift apart on how far to go.
