Harry Potter Sorting Quiz

So, obviously, this has been done before. A lot. GoToQuiz is practically flooded with sorting quizzes. I still wanted to make my own, though, to reflect what I think each of the Houses represents. It's just for fun, and I don't doubt that some people will disagree with my interpretation, but I hope you'll give it a shot and read through the result you get thoroughly.

This quiz is also, in my opinion, pretty hard to guess your way through to get one result or the other. Not impossible or anything, but hard enough that you won't subconsciously pick the result you think will get you the House you want. Basically, I hope you enjoy taking the quiz, and let me know what you think!

You're taking a very important test in a class you struggle with, one which could have a significant impact on your final grade. You studied hard, and you feel confident answering most of the questions on the test, but there's a few that are totally stumping you. The person next to you tends to do very well in this class and you feel confident you could get away with copying a few of their answers - do you?
- Yes. It's not like me cheating on a few questions on one test is going to destroy the world or anything- it's not even hurting anyone else. I really did try my hardest, and for the most part, I learned the material, so why not?
- Yes. Good grades are important to me, and my success in the future is going to depend a lot more on having a good academic record than whether or not I remember some useless trivia from one test in one class. Anyways, it's not like everyone else doesn't cheat the system, too.
- No. The grade I get on this test doesn't matter in the long run. I understand the topic, that's what's going to matter years down the line, not a perfect GPA. I like getting good grades, but it's not the most important thing in the world.
- No. I'd rather take my best guess at it and get the grade I actually earned. If I cheat and get a good grade, the grade I got doesn't really reflect what I actually deserve.
You're a manager in charge of deciding who to hire for an open position at your company. It's down to the final group of applicants, and one of them quite obviously stands out as the best of the bunch. They're fantastic for the job, and you're certain that if they got it, they would be the most valuable addition to the team in quite a while. However, another of the applicants is one of your closest friends. This is a well-paying job in a field they have plenty of experience with, and you know they've been struggling to stay afloat lately financially. They'd probably be quite good in the job, and it would really help them out, but objectively speaking, the other candidate is more qualified. Who do you give the job to?
- The more qualified candidate. It's not right to deny them a job they'd be the best at just because they don't happen to already know me. It wouldn't be fair to my friend, either, to give them a job they didn't earn.
- My friend. Both candidates would do well in the job, and I know that my friend really needs this. It would be cruel not to help them out when I have the opportunity to.
- My friend. Nobody gets to be the best unless they're given opportunities, and my friend would benefit from this opportunity more than someone who's already perfect for it. The other candidate can find another job; my friend might not be able to.
- The more qualified candidate. It's important to get the person who'll do the best job, regardless of personal bias. The qualified candidate probably also needs this job, why should my friend's needs be more important than theirs?
You've been offered the job opportunity of your dreams- the kind of position that sets you up to become the very best in your chosen field, highly skilled and successful. However, the place offering you the job has a history of corruption scandals, ones that hurt ordinary people, and your friends and family are concerned when you mention the opportunity. Do you take the job?
- No. I don't want to be associated with any place that has that kind of history. Not only would the people around me think less of me, I would be personally uncomfortable going against my own morals like that.
- Yes. If I take this job, and excel at it, I can use my influence there to improve the way they operate and stop the corruption at the root. This is my chance to really do something to make a difference, and turning it down would be irresponsible.
- Yes. Taking a starting job somewhere isn't the same as agreeing to do anything immoral that's asked of me. I intend to take advantage of this great opportunity to learn more about my field, while still being ready to resign at any time if I have to.
- No. Happiness is far more important than success, and I can find happiness without being involved in a place with that kind of reputation. I'd be much happier helping people right where I am than pursuing my selfish goals.

How much should we value tradition?
- Follow it in general, unless it's clear that it's become outdated and is no longer useful
- Follow it most or all of the time, and when you don't, still keep it in mind as a general moral guideline
- Distrust it on principle; it's better to form your own moral code, and if that overlaps with tradition, so be it
- Let it inform your decisions, but never feel that you have to follow it to the letter
