Day Three - Bring down the house

3. What house you would be in

HAHAHAHA. I'm unsortable. I need my own house created after me, since I master an ancient traditional martial art that uses a rolling pin and a kazoo.

I usually think of myself as a Ravenclaw, but since I do idiotic things on a daily basis, I'm not sure I belong there. To be honest, I have no idea where I would like to belong. All the quizzes and tests usually sort me in Ravenclaw or Gryffindor, with one exception once in Slytherin. I find it quite funny but not surprising that I don't score high on Hufflepuff now. I used to, but not anymore.

Slytherin makes sense, in a way. I am a natural leader - I know it doesn't show on the Internet, but trust me on this - and I'm good at working with so-called difficult people.  I have managed and succeeded in many projects that seemed doomed from the beginning because they involved colleagues that are power hungry/control freaks, and they would swear I did every thing they wanted me to do, while I actually initiated many tasks by convincing them it was a good idea.  To convince people to get into a project, you have to know you are talking to and how to talk to them. I'm good at that.

I also have a serious problem with rules. When I feel boxed in, you can be pretty sure that I'll find myself incapable of doing exactly what people expect from me. It's an asset in my line of work since everything is so shifty, but I would be a very bad accountant.

Ravenclaw makes sense, too. I like brainy things. I'm not insanely intelligent, but my goal in life is to be an old wise woman and I'll work myself to get there. I'm curious of others' thought process. I like discussion about process, generally, and the meta that goes with it. My sense of humour is more offbeat than witty. I think I also have judgement and ethics. I have lots of respect for ethics as well as for social and personal awareness. I use this sentence a lot, "Now let's take a step back so we can watch what's going on.".

Gryffindor...well. It must have something to do with the hero complex. I believe that there is a moment, in every situation, where one must look at himself/herself  and acknowledge what is there. To be a wise old woman needs courage. No one said that wisdom was easy to attain. Neither justice.

So yes...I'm not sure I can give out an answer.
