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 wonder how this hat really works
I hope they put me in the right house

2

The hat listens to your thoughts - and responds!

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

Earned
Shared
Savored
Explored

3

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

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

4

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

Sense
Verify
Feel
Believe

5

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

Useful
Pointless
Tempting
Corrupting

6

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

Everything. It is the light of life
A deep feeling. Unforgettable
A lasting bond. It energizes and embraces
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?"

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

9

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

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

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 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
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

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
Mostly, yes - but sometimes something wrong for an individual is better for the group
It depends on too many factors, and has been defined and redefined multiple times. Each one should discover their personal right and wrong
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

My dreams

Inspire

22

"Oh...yes. And how competitive are you?"

Not very. I give my best, but I don’t mind losing
I will beat you down. Try me!
I’m extremely competitive. And when I’m losing, I could break a rule or two
Very! But I play fair, and if I lose, I’ll cheer for my next favorite players

23

"Ha! Of course. Very interesting! Now, this: If you could fix one world problem, what would it be?"

Errors in the criminal justice system
Economic crises
Social inclusion
The dissemination of misinformation

24

"I see...and what is your hardest inner struggle?"

I say no and then wish I had said yes

I think but don’t act

For 43% you are: Ready for your result? You got SLYTHERIN!

As you are sorted into Slytherin, the Sorting Hat explains your result, projecting images into your mind:

Determination to succeed, well-fitting suits and polished shoes, smirks, fresh scents, dark sarcasm, dry drinks, temptation to take power, building an empire, bittersweet, the unknown, embracing shadow and light, sinking into bitter and anchoring to love, the seas of the human mind, poison and cure.

Yay! I love Slytherin

51% Ravenclaw, 19% Hufflepuff, 16% Gryffindor, 14% Slytherin.
Makes sense...I guess, I turned more Hufflepuff rather than Slytherin this year. (I usually get Ravenclaw, Slytherin, Gryffindor, Hufflepuff before)

I am Ravenclaw! It's accurate and I am so shocked that I'm kind of Slytherin in the second place which is not true. But I'm pleased because Ravenclaw is my favourite house and, at the first time, on Wizarding World I got its. I was wondering if I'm Hufflepuff but now when I've read description it doesn't fit me so probably no.
