You're a Falcon!
Motto: Everything's negotiable
Falcons are the fastest animals in the world, flying up to 120 miles per hour. They move quickly from idea to idea and task to task. Falcons migrate and often like to try out new experiences. When they speak, Falcons are loud!
Falcons are imaginative and spontaneous problem-solvers who love learning new skills. Alert, outspoken and always interesting company, they find it very easy to communicate, making them natural negotiators. Falcons are accident-prone risk-takers. They enjoy variety and action and tend to leave things until the last minute.
- Imaginative and creative. Strive to be different with a unique sense of style
- Enjoy pushing boundaries and negotiating changes in the rules
- Easily get bored and like to move on to new things
- Adventurous, direct and assertive – tend to ask ‘Why?’
- Often popular but can be a threat to some teachers or adults who don't always appreciate their original thinking!
- Try hard to impress
- Usually witty and clever company
Energetic, visionary, direct and flexible. Generally keen to share their thoughts. Create a fast-paced and fun environment and like people who act instinctively. Tend to offer freedom and independence to their team members.
Don't judge yourself too harshly; you can be your own worst critic.
