I'm on it! I like it for the extra little things that she posts when you go through the chapters : D. Everything else seems fun too and it's nice to feel like you're "officially" Sorted lol.

Yes! i feel like I am in the House I am meant to be in. Now that I think about it, Ravenclaw just wasn't me. I wouldn't fit in there. I have characteristics of it, but Hufflepuff has more.

I like it okay, but it's not my favorite thing in the world. I'd much rather be on tumblr, since it actually loads on my crappy dial up. XD
But my username is SicklePotion6916

Twiny - Of course you're actually a Hufflepuff! We wouldn't be Twiny's otherwise : D.
Ariana - OMG yes lol. I would rather be on Tumblr most of the time thought tbh. Tumblr is better than almost everything.

haha thanks! and I just had a Hufflepuff moment! My friend was talking about how she met her new roommate and telling me about her. I asked if she had talked about Audrey(the roommate) going through recruitment. Sarah(my friend) said that she didn't know if she could go through it because Audrey wasn't exactly pretty( but she was average) and she was a little overweight but really excited and genuine. i went through this whole spiel about how it doesn't matter what she looks like or weighs as long as she is genuine and is a nice person. Plus it's not like "pretty" is a requirement. And then I realized that that is like what Helga said "I'll take the lot and treat them just the same"
Tumblr is amazing<3 I love it

I don't feel officially sorted. I feel betrayed. Waaaaa. lol. jk. I'd only feel that way if it put me in Gryffindor (I was put in Slytherin. Still NOT my house).
I don't like people judging others on appearances either. I've gone through many rather passionate rants about it. Then my boyfriend pointed out that I'm judging people for judging people. I can't win there. Anyway, I can see how that could be a hufflepuff trait.
What is Tumbir?

I feel so comfortable because I was put where I belong: Slytherin. There's just no other house for me. Though my RL friends don't think I'm very Slytherinish which is weird.
I love collecting those little beans and chocolate frogs and cards. And I enjoyed buying my wand =D

Here's my exact Quiz and my Answers:
Do they seem "Slytherin" to you?
Which of the following would you most hate people to call you? Ignorant
What kind of instrument most pleases your ear? Violin
A troll has gone berserk in the Headmaster's study at Hogwarts. It is about to smash, crush and tear several irreplaceable items and treasures, including a cure for dragon pox, which the Headmaster has nearly perfected; student records going back 1000 years and a mysterious handwritten book full of strange runes, believed to have belonged to Merlin. In which order would you rescue these objects from the troll's club, if you could? Merlin’s book, Dragon Pox Cure, Student Records
Which of the following would you most like to study? Merpeople
You and two friends need to cross a bridge guarded by a river troll who insists on fighting one of you before he will let all of you pass. Do you: Attempt to confuse the troll into letting all three of you pass without fighting
Forest or River Forest
Heads or Trails Tails
With the troll question, yes, I supposed I was Slytherin to "trick" the troll, but I'm against fighting if not needed. And honestly that seems the most logical thing to do.
Otherwise, I don't want to be called ignorant and the first thing I save is Merlin's book (imagine the knowledge).
I'm not sure WHAT to make of the rest of the questions, whether they have any value.....

Actually, I can see the Slytherin in those answers. For example, Slytherins are the second-brightest house, so being called Ignorant would be the highest insult. And the order of which you would have saved those items. A Slytherin would care about knowledge, so the book. And then the cure. If you had saved that, then you would potentially gain fame by being the one to save it. Slytherins DO take pride in fame. And the violin is sophisticated. Not like the guitar, even though both are string instruments. I dunno. It may just be my mind playing tricks on me, but I can see how it sorted you into Slytherin. In fact, just to see if I can get Slytherin twice, I'm going to make a new account, get sorted, and delete it afterwards. I'm kind of curious.

You've got to weigh each answer for each House. But if you answer completely honestly, and not try and fudge your answers for what house you WANT to be in, you should end up where you need to go.

On the what would you least like to be called question, the answers were: Ordinary, Ignorant, Cowardly, Selfish . I would have thought "ordinary" would be Slytherin, "Ignorant" Ravenclaw. "Cowardly" Gryffindor. and "Selfish" Hufflepuff.
I was not thinking about fame at all when I choose to save the cure. I just figured potentially saving lives was of more importance than some old records that don't make any real difference. I don't want to be famous (too much attention).
Guitar wasn't an option for music. The other options were trumpet, drums, and piano. And trumpets and drums are not pleasing to me, particularly be themselves. So loud. I actually took piano lessons for many years, and I like the piano. String instruments are just slightly more soothing.
But yes, I can see how I could get into Slytherin, but it is still perplexing in some ways too.

Ignorant could be potentially Ravenclaw or Slytherin. Think of Snape and Draco, two of the more known Slytherins. Both of them highly intelligent and neither one of them would stand for being called ignorant. But it would be a high insult for Ravenclaw as well. The Hufflepuff and Gryffindor ones sound about right, though Slytherins don't want to be thought of as cowardly either, even though they may be. Slytherins don't take too well to being thought badly of, and cowardice isn't a good trait.
True. I personally don't really want to be famous. Sometimes I dream about it, but then I think about people invading my privacy and never having a moment's peace and it just completely turns me off.
I just took the quiz again and got that question myself. I chose violin. Mostly because it's always been one of my favorite instruments anyways, and trumpets give me headaches, and drums can be too loud though I do like to listen to them at times when it's in a song and not extremely prominent.
Seems like you are having an identity crisis. I created another account and just finished taking the Sorting Quiz for a second time, and these were my questions and answers. I got sorted into Slytherin again, so I guess that's where I was truly meant to go.
1. How would you like to be known to history? - The Great 2. What kind of instrument most pleases your ear? - The Violin 3. Which would you rather be: - Feared 4. Which of the following would you most like to study - Centaurs 5. A Muggle confronts you and says that they are sure you are a witch or wizard. Do you: - Agree, and walk away, leaving them to wonder whether you are bluffing 6. Dawn or dusk? - Dusk 7. Black or white? - Black
They do seem like Slytherin answers... My answers from the first quiz I took were these.
1. After you have died, what would you most like people to do when they hear your name? - I don't care what people think of me after I'm dead; it's what they think of me while I'm alive that counts 2. Four goblets are placed before you. Which would you choose to drink? -The mysterious black liquid that gleams like ink, and gives off fumes that make you see strange visions. 3. Which of the following do you find most difficult to deal with? - Loneliness 4. What are you most looking forward to learning at Hogwarts? - Secrets about the castle 5. One of your house mates has cheated in a Hogwarts exam by using a Self-Spelling Quill. Now he has come top of the class in Charms, beating you into second place. Professor Flitwick is suspicious of what happened. He draws you to one side after his lesson and asks you whether or not your classmate used a forbidden quill. What do you do? - Tell Professor Flitwick the truth. If your classmate is prepared to win by cheating, he deserves to be found out. Also, as you are both in the same house, any points he loses will be regained by you, for coming first in his place. 6. Forest or river? - River 7. Left or right? - Right
