Sample's bird style, Parrot with a good deal of Eagle
Sample, your world is filled with fun and adventure! Every day is an opportunity to try new things, go new places, and meet new people. As a Parrot with a good deal of Eagle, you have a knack for telling stories and being an exciting communicator. Your superpower is influencing people, creating excitement for your ideas, winning over supporters, and getting people to join you on your adventures.
At home, you're probably the loudest and most talkative member of the family! Every moment is a chance to make jokes, tell stories, and ask others to share in the excitement of your life. Because you're so good at influencing people, you often convince them to play your favorite games and watch the shows you want to see.
Sometimes though, no matter how hard you try to sell an idea to your parents, they just don't buy it. If you know their answer is going to be 'no, ' you might do what you want without asking. With your parents, it's usually better to ask permission if you have a risky idea.
At school, you seem to know everyone. Other kids gather around you for all the fun, laughter, and excitement you create. You might be late to classes where it's hard to sit still and be quiet. Although you may be a bit unorganized, the Eagle in you insists on getting most homework done on time, or at least convincing the teacher to give you an extra day.
In sports, arts, theater, school clubs, and volunteering, it may seem like you're always joking around. Behind the smiles, though, you do want to win! It feels good to be celebrated and recognized. Because of your playful ways, coaches may not realize how much you care about competing.
Like all superpowers, your ability to influence comes with challenges: recognize the difference between influencing and manipulating, share the spotlight, and think before you act. When a funny idea pops into your head, ask whether it could put someone in danger or get others in trouble. If your intuition says, 'Sample, I don't know if we should do this…' listen to that voice.
When you use your superpower for good, you can win followers for your ideas, organize great events, and lead big groups. One day, you'll have big and important ideas to sell.
