A NEW SORTING QUIZ
Posted: Wed Jul 10, 2024 2:23 pmA DIFFERENT SORTING QUIZ
I have always been very interested in the Hogwarts Sorting Quiz and other personality tests. I know many of you love them just like I do. This is one I created by myself without using any other sources. Be sure to check out the key along with explanations in the end. Enjoy, and of course, let me know about anything you would change. A little tip before you start - To get it the way I desired it to be, I would recommend letting go of any stereotypes you have beforehand about how each house should behave, and just answer in the moment for yourself. Stereotypes only prevent us from fully being ourselves, and I claim beforehand that I may have purposefully attempted to break them here.
Disclaimer: I do not make any claims of accuracy. This is purely for entertainment. Enjoy reading the explanations and feel free to disagree.
1. You have an exam in an hour but you only just came to know? How do you figure this situation out?
A. Cram in as much last-minute information as you can. This is not the time to be anxious.
B. Get anxious and almost pass out, needing restorative potions, then follow a one-hour game plan from a guidebook.
C. Attempt to guess what questions might be asked, and crop out the syllabus for yourself accordingly.
D. Just go over the basics and decide to make up the rest during the exam.
2. You enter a temple and are told that one of you will henceforth rule the magical world. Your choice of objects will be the first gift given to you as the ruler. All these objects can be very useful depending on what your first goal as the one in power is. What would be your choice?

D. You ask the voice to show you some sort of proof or sign that they are indeed your friend.
5. Your friend lies to you. The next time your friend asks for your help, and wants to make peace, what are you likely to do?

Explanations and result key (Give one point to the house written beside each option number that you chose for each question, meaning there are total 5 points to be given, if you choose only one option per question. The house that gets the most points is your dominant house. If you get a tie, which is not possible with 5 questions, but can be made possible just in case you can go with more than one options for any one or more of the questions, you may be a Hatstall. Lastly, the Sorting Hat always asks one last question about your preferred house, feel free to use it to your advantage if you are a Hatstall.):
The dominating themes in this quiz were intended to be a) motivations and desires, and b) coping mechanisms.
1. Exam question - Everyone is motivated to do well in their exams. But, how do you cope with an emergency?
A. RAVENCLAW - cope by gathering all the information possible in the short time . More knowledge, more wins.
B. HUFFLEPUFF - cope by following a set structure. Dedication and hardwork is their strength and they are loyal to a fault. Just give them something pre-made and fixed to follow.
C. SLYTHERIN - cope by getting the shortest and quickest route out. Do I have to know everything in the syllabus? No. Do I have to do well in the exam? Yes.
D. GRYFFINDOR - cope by not letting anxiety get the best of them. Who said I can't answer just because I didn't study? I will figure it out as it comes.
2. Temple, and ruler question - What is your driving force/motivation, better put as, higher purpose in life?
A. GRYFFINDOR - Chivalry, they would jump at the opportunity to alleviate others' pain.
B. SLYTHERIN - Ambition, power, and wealth, might I say just a bit of a show-off (or more), everybody will be rich and all houses look like fantastic mansions where I rule. No one gets to see an ugly, shabby house in my land. Perfection is the only thing I deserve.
C. RAVENCLAW - Curiosity/sharing knowledge, they believe that the true source of happiness is in the sating of curiosity. All ill health and all sadness are rooted in lack of knowledge. Finding out how to live is the key to live happily.
D. HUFFLEPUFF - Loyalty, morality, loyalty and following a set of existing rules is how they function best and think others also will live their best the same way.
3. Charity funds question - Driving force/motivation, higher purpose
A. GRYFFINDOR - Chivalry, standing up for the unfortunate. Doing something to help the unfortunate is the best way to get a Gryffindor going.
B. RAVENCLAW - Curiosity/sharing knowledge, teach everyone how to duel, the more they know, the better. Replace duelling with anything you like, they just want knowledge to be free for everyone.
C. HUFFLEPUFF - Loyalty, dedication, these loyal friends want to give back to the magical creatures who are so useful to us. Unlike Gryffindors, their motivation is not chivalry, therefore they wouldn't prioritize only the unfortunate, it can be any magical creature. As a bonus reason, they have a deep, profound love and loyalty for their own roots in Mother Nature. They understand that they share the same origins/family as other magical creatures and have a loyal duty towards them.
D. SLYTHERIN - Ambition, power, and wealth. So, tell me, who wants to be invincible? We all know, right?
4. Voice from unknown place question - Coping mechanisms
A. HUFFLEPUFF - Dedication, "Friend, did you say? I am coming. I don't care, even if I die. I will cope by telling myself that you are my FRIEND."
B. SLYTHERIN - Cunning, "Ain't no trusting nobody? I am always ready to combat betrayal."
C. RAVENCLAW - Knowledge, Knowledge is power, remember? Find out as much as you can to determine if you can trust them.
D. GRYFFINDOR - Bravery, I am not afraid to ask for what I want, however powerful the origin of the voice may be. Confront them directly and ask for solid proof.
5. Friend question - Driving force/motivations and desires, coping mechanisms and reactions
A. SLYTHERIN - Cunning and ambition, you hit the wrong nerve. Let me prove to you that I am better at the lying game.
B. GRYFFINDOR - Chivalry, Of course, I will help, irrespective of whether or not you are my friend. But, remember that just because I am helping you does not mean that I am your friend. Helping is in my nature.
C. HUFFLEPUFF - Loyalty, loyalty to friends cannot be broken so easily, even if they make a mistake.
D. RAVENCLAW - Curiosity and knowledge, ahah, friend or not friend? New question to ponder. New puzzle to figure out. Interesting!
