I was thinking Ravenclaw for you at first, but by the time I reached the end up your application I decided to ultimately go with Slytherin. The reasons I thought Ravenclaw are pretty obvious -- you mentioned your value of intelligence many times throughout your application. You are organized, analytical, an observer, and you enjoy learning ( ... )

I kept going back and forth between slytherin and Ravenclaw, but in the end I think you are more slytherin.

Well, for starters, you think that having goals is important. Most people do, but you felt the need to express this in your application, which points to ambition, which points to Slytherin. Loyalty is generally considered a Hufflepuff trait, but I think all the houses exhibit extreme loyalty in some way, shape, or form (Cho to Cedric, Puffs to each other, Sirius to James/Harry, Bella to Voldemort), so that doesn't really give off a vibe. In your first question, you say that you're emotionally cool, at least on the surface, which points to either Ravenclaw or Slytherin. Using underhand means to get to places points to Slytherin as well... however, all in all, your first question made me want to put you in Ravenclaw what with your rationality and all that. We're ignoring the fact that neither Cho nor Luna were particularly rational beings. Well... neither was Ravenclaw's daughter, was she? Alright, scratch that- the first one makes me think Slytherin. And from then on, it snowballs like woah. You're definitely a Slytherclaw - ( ... )

I take the pushing thing back. As awful as it sounds, I just noticed that you're 15 and, for some reason, most people 16 and below all have similar writing styles. Curse high school.

I never thought my age had anything to do with my typing style, but it's made me think a little. I mean, I'm pretty much a regular highschooler in real life, with the "like" disease and all; I've always thought I came off a bit more eloquent online but I'm glad my personality still transfers through - people have told me I sound very different (stiffer, I think) online vs. offline x).

I'm also ESL, if that makes up for any of my fragmented grammar.

Eh honestly I think she was pushing, & IDK.. I've seen some people who are 15 years old & can still post pretty non-biased.

This application was really difficult for me to rate. I still believe that you were pushing for Slytherin. Although I do believe you might have a Slytherin side to you, personally reading this application it wasn't strong enough for me to vote you into my own house because I'm not sure you really ARE a Slytherin. But there is no lack of intelligence, I don't want to muggle you because I think you'd be a good addition to the community but I don't think by reading your answers you'd do well in the snake pit. Unlike Gryffindor you don't CHOOSE to be a snake, you just are.

It is often said here that strong elements of Gryffindor mixed with strong elements of Ravenclaw seem to result in a solid Slytherin. I don't think the same equation necessarily functions in the opposite direction; however, I do think that watered down Ravenclaw plus diluted Slytherin makes for a Gryffindorian concoction. It does in this case, anyway. This isn't a matter of the lions coming out on top after a tally of points for each of the houses, question by question. I think this is all formulas and principles and broad strokes. This comes after considering Ravenclaw and Slytherin in turn and ultimately deciding that neither is suitable ( ... )
