ATTF: what's your profile? (aka serious, fun and silly personality tests)
Hello dearest bar! It's that time of the week! Are you ready to have some fun here? Today we should discuss (and if you choose, do) some personality tests. You know, those quizzy type of things that usually tell you what kind of bookshelf you are (messy, fancy, pretty... okay, I'm kidding), or give you some kind of profile, telling you about your
( Read more... )
On Myers - Briggs test I score as INFJ (introversion, intuition, feeling, judging) - which frankly, is me. I am an introvert who occasionally enjoys a party or loud going out, up to a certain point. My true love are books and music + headphones. I am supposed to be a caring, intuitive and sensitive person (I could sometimes do with less sensitive), but I suppose those traits make me a good or at least decent writer and observer of human nature. INFJs are supposedly artistic and internet tells me it's the rarest personality type (I feel special!). Temepraments test puts me into group of melancholics (ha, I am not surprised); Hogwarts test sorts me into Slytherin with Hufflepuff house coming in second, Rawenclaw third and Gryffindor last.
Daemon test tells me I am a "Honest Soul" and that my daemon would be something to represent my loving nature and encourage me. It would be a dog, otter, marmoset, saw whet owl, chinchilla or a songbird. I'd pick a dog. :)
What are your results, folks? I'm not really surprised with mine :)

This is me EXACTLY!!! I am always listening to music on my headphones from the time I got my first pair at around age 8. My mom always wondered why I listened on headphones instead of just playing music on speaker. That's too open with other people around, haha.
What do you think of your Slytherin category? Why do you think you were placed there?

There are few reasons, apart from the blatant traits that belong to the house - I am practical, I can compartmentalize, I can shut down my empathy when necessary to achieve a goal. I'm loyal (and passionate), I'm cunning and able to manipulate people (I do have a moral compass and I don't use these traits to harm others, but I do have them). Basically, one wouldn't want me for an enemy. Also, I can hold grudge for centuries, like most Slytherin characters in Harry Potter do, they passionately hold onto something that may not be the best thing for them - Snape comes to mind. he was so utterly loyal to his long dead love and that is both amazing and heart breaking and painful. I'm trying to say, someone from Slytherin has a big capacity to hurt themselves and stubbronly continue doing that for longest time. I have that trait. I try not to fall into that particular pit.
I think of Slytherins as tough outside and soft inside (see above), and while we appear badass and tough and scary, we can be pretty frightened and even insecure inside. What I really like, though, is the stubbornness and determination that helps a Slytherin come through and reach the goal (no matter how much it hurts, or how hard it is).
I liked being sorted here, it makes sense to me - I've always been a black sheep, and found that Slytherin has an awesome combination of traits that make us good fighters, loyal friends and scary and cunning opponents. I really really liked being sorted there, especially in that particular moment in my life - I am attached to my books and fictional things and (Wow, I wrote you an essay!)

Snape is absolutely my favorite character in HP (and Loki's emerald green robes and cunning always remind me of Slytherin, one of my favorite characters from MCU)...but I scored very low in Slytherin on that test myself. So I guess I'm a fan but an outsider. ;) I think I am too "middle-of-the-road", easy-going to have the passion necessary of a Slytherin.

I too love Snape, and what I love best about him is his unshakable, painful loyalty to Lily. That just hurts.
I think JKR realized she will have to make Slytherin a bit more appealing and less stereotypically "bad guy house" when bunch of kids were sorted into that house. let's face it, there are people with that combination of traits around, and we're not all evil.
