Go and check it out, it's a blast. HERE is the best one that I'd like to recommend to you, in which I scored 52% Ravenclaw, 33% Hufflepuff, 53% Slytherin and 56% Gryffindor!
Also, if you were wondering, I am a Ravenclaw at heart, even though on multiple tests I score mostly Griffindor OR Ravenclaw. Click here to see what J. K. Rowling has to say about Ravenclaw
Because in this particular test I scored ostly Griffindor, here's a little something about the Griffons: Gryffindor's cardinal traits are bravery, pride, stubbornness and impulsiveness. Most people in the house of Gryffindor will be extroverted. (Remember, introversion is different than being shy: you can be a shy extrovert.) Gryffindors gain energy and life by being around people, grain strength from friends and enjoy working with those close to them. However, they are also emotionally volatile and can experience a wide range of feelings in a short amount of time, from unbridled happiness to deep depression to unrestrained rage. They are less emotionally stable than some of the other houses (such as Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff); Gryffindors are also impulsive. They're also generally good-hearted and trusting, and for the most part like people at first sight unless they are given a reason not to. Gryffindors are Prideful, bad at taking criticism and easily get into conflicts with others—this is the main trait that would bring their overall level of agreeableness from high to average.
A Gryffindor's prideful nature coupled with their sense of justice and stubborn behavior causes them to be extremely set in their ways. They have a difficult time backing down from a fight or admitting that they are wrong. It's also very hard for them to get over a bad first impression or change their opinion on someone.
I don't necessarily agree with this portait, so I am going to post the description of the Ravens as well, as I intuitively side with this house the most:

Or yet in wise old Ravenclaw,
if you've a ready mind,
Where those of wit and learning,
Will always find their kind;
The cardinal traits of Ravenclaw are intellect, wit and openness to experience. They are the most introverted house of the four. Ravenclaws are more likely to prefer small gatherings of like-minded individuals and require recooperation after stressful social interaction. These individuals are intuitive creatures, the quintessential researchers. Theylack the stubborn, strict, and rule-abiding qualities that would inhibit intellectual growth—one can't be too set in their ways if they are to be open to exploring new ideas and paths of thought.In contrast to Slytherin and Gryffindor, Ravenclaws in general are much moreemotionally stable. Their reactions seem dampened compared to the sometimes dramatic responses of the other houses—they're much less likely to get offended, they're more open to criticism, not particularly argumentative and interested in hearing different points of view. They can at times seem to be less interested in people and more interested in their owninner world, and appear to be disconnected from the rest of humanity. Ambition is secondary to them. Although they may strive to excel in school, knowledge and self-enrichment is the primary goal as opposed to simply wanting good marks. If they do happen to strive for excellence, it is because it fits with their other goals, not out of a desire to be superior or the best. Due to their intuitiveness and willingness to listen, Ravenclaws can be empathetic and make good advisors. They should generally leave leadership roles to people who are more extraverted and who would enjoy them more, however.
When I was younger I thought that Gryffindor is one and only, the best home ever, with all the Weasleys, Hermione, with their bravery and stubborness. Over the years I realised that even though I still love them, I don't really identify with their character.
ReplyDeleteIt's pretty amazing how much thought Rowling puts into every element of her book, even into the description of every house in Hogwart.
My score :
57% Ravenclaw, 62% Hufflepuff, 39% Slytherin and 37% Gryffindor!
(a bit suprising, I thought I'll get to Ravenclaw)
I think that the way the storyline and the characters are portrayed, it was sort of implied that you wish to get to Griffindor and sympathise with this house in particular. Nonetheless, over the years I started to interpret on my own some actions and qualities of the members of those houses and I figured that, in fact, most Griffons were meant to behave more like James Potter and Sirius at their teenage worst - flamboyant, defiant and trouble-makers. Also, J. K. Rowling claimed to belong to Hufflepuff, but I don't believe that. I think she is a proud Griffon and that's just a little pity-party for the Hufflepuffs. ;)
ReplyDeleteI also wanted to say that I, for one, was rather hoping to score more on the Hufflepuff score, I like the qualities this house represents, like kindness and tolerance. They are in line with how I view the world. Also, I am a foodie :P
