Hogwarts House Sorting: Personality Archetypes

1

You enter the Great Hall, and your name is called. You sit on a chair and, as you wear the hat, you think:

Let's get this done, OK? I just want to get sorted and move on
Which house sounds the most useful?
I hope they put me in the right house
I wonder how this hat really works

2

The hat listens to your thoughts - and responds!

"Interesting...and you think good things should be..."

Earned
Shared
Explored
Savored

3

"I see," responds the Sorting Hat. "And as good and bad, you think of..."

Truth and illusion
Love and hate
Success and failure
Right and wrong

4

"Very interesting! And you trust the most when you..."

Feel
Verify
Sense
Believe

5

"I see. And you find power..."

Useful
Corrupting
Tempting
Pointless

6

"Very well. And love, you say, is..."

A lasting bond. It energizes and embraces
A deep feeling. Unforgettable
Everything. It is the light of life
It is incredible. And no one can define it

7

"Oh...yes...I do understand. Tell me...what do you worry about most?"

Everything. I want to understand literally everything, and there are so many questions unanswered!
I try not to worry too much, just focus on the problem at hand...then the next one. Every day is a new day
Sure, world problems are important - but in the end, I've got my own life to take care of, and it's already hard enough. I worry about my family's and my own expectations
I worry about the future: how we are handling the planet, the people, wars and famines, etc

8

"I see...What IS the most important?"

Free thought and knowledge. Developing an open mind and an investigative spirit
Being a dedicated and respectful person, while also being able to balance work and private life
Having strength of spirit and remaining true to one's values, even in the face of darkness
Understanding society and the human mind. Being able to read a situation and easily handle it

9

"I see....And what is money?"

A human concept to describe an exchange of goods. It is still just a concept
Power. It moves the world. Understanding money is understanding power
It's not everything. There are more important things in life
Necessary. Without it, one cannot live a decent life

10

"Very interesting. You see, I do take into account your personal preference, so I'll ask you this: What do you wish to obtain during your studies at Hogwarts?"

Adventures! I want to explore every bit of this castle and have memorable experiences! I want to make lasting friends whom I can trust not to tell on me if I do something sneaky or against the rules once in a while
I want to understand the universe - how magic works, why we have these powers, how we can harness them, what potential I might have in its usage. I want to befriend other open-minded people
I want to feel at home here, to meet loving friends who care for each other. And I’d like to learn how I could help other people, creatures and plants, and learn more about them. I want to nurture my projects and grow together with my housemates
I want to find myself - discover who I really am, apart from what everyone else expects me to be. I feel this internal need to uncover and harness my true potential. I want to find like-minded friends who are also determined to grow and to achieve their goals

11

"Oh! Of course....I can see....But IS there right and wrong?"

Right and wrong are relative concepts. I see things for what they really are. Sometimes you’ve got to do what’s necessary
Of course! Right and wrong, light and darkness, life and death. Good and evil. It is undeniably there. And we should be strong enough to defend what is right, and remain true
It depends on too many factors, and has been defined and redefined multiple times. Each one should discover their personal right and wrong
Mostly, yes - but sometimes something wrong for an individual is better for the group

Not very. I give my best, but I don’t mind losing
I will beat you down. Try me!
Very! But I play fair, and if I lose, I’ll cheer for my next favorite players

Social inclusion
Errors in the criminal justice system

30% Ravenclaw, 27% Slytherin, 22% Hufflepuff, 22% Gryffindor.
Fits my expectations, though I consider myself more Hufflepuff than it seems, but I'm definitely not all that brave or something Gryffindor related.
A good quizz in general, and interesting as it shows of the other house percentages (and it really shows of my mixed personality as well).

37 or so questions to find out that I am 32% gryffindor, 30% slytherin and equal amounts the rest. This was a very good and well- researched test but.......... I wish that it would have given me just one result! Although it is nice to see what part the other houses I am. Please make more great tests like this Sofia- this was really the best online test that I have ever done for fun!!!!!!
