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
I hope they put me in the right house
Which house sounds the most useful?
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
Savored
Shared
Explored

3

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

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

4

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

Believe
Verify
Feel
Sense

5

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

Corrupting
Pointless
Useful
Tempting

6

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

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

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!
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 try not to worry too much, just focus on the problem at hand...then the next one. Every day is a new day
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?"

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

9

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

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

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?"

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 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 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
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

11

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

Mostly, yes - but sometimes something wrong for an individual is better for the group
Right and wrong are relative concepts. I see things for what they really are. Sometimes you’ve got to do what’s necessary
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

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

23

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

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

24

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

I think but don’t act
I say yes when I wish to say no
I act without thinking
I say no and then wish I had said yes

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.
