Ganked from shadadukal and penknife: Your result for The Sorting Hat: A Comprehensive Harry Potter Personality Assessment [Test/Quiz]...

Ravenclaw

62% Ravenclaw, 54% Hufflepuff, 38% Slytherin and 38% Gryffindor!



Or yet in wise old Ravenclaw,

if you've a ready mind,

Where those of wit and learning,

Will always find their kind;

The cardinal traits of Ravenclaw are intellect, wit and openness to experience. They are the most introverted house of the four. Ravenclaws are more likely to prefer small gatherings of like-minded individuals and require recooperation after stressful social interaction. These individuals are intuitive creatures, the quintessential researchers. They lack the stubborn, strict, and rule-abiding qualities that would inhibit intellectual growth-one can't be too set in their ways if they are to be open to exploring new ideas and paths of thought.In contrast to Slytherin and Gryffindor, Ravenclaws in general are much more emotionally stable. Their reactions seem dampened compared to the sometimes dramatic responses of the other houses-they're much less likely to get offended, they're more open to criticism, not particularly argumentative and interested in hearing different points of view. They can at times seem to be less interested in people and more interested in their own inner world, and appear to be disconnected from the rest of humanity.

Ambition is secondary to them. Although they may strive to excel in school, knowledge and self-enrichment is the primary goal as opposed to simply wanting good marks. If they do happen to strive for excellence, it is because it fits with their other goals, not out of a desire to be superior or the best. Due to their intuitiveness and willingness to listen, Ravenclaws can be empathetic and make good advisors. They should generally leave leadership roles to people who are more extraverted and who would enjoy them more, however.

I'm surprised to see how high I scored as a Ravenclaw. It's interesting that a previous Sorting Hat quiz sorted me into Gryffindor, which is the House I'd choose if I were living in the Potterverse. Then again, I'm probably not ~intense~ enough to be a Gryffindor in personality.

Mightygodking.com sorts the Justice League into Hogwarts Houses. I didn't agree with some of these choices, so I've done my own sorting. I took into consideration the fact that these guys are superheroes and so "brave and daring" is kind of their default setting. That doesn't mean they're all Gryffindors.

Superman: He's goodhearted, trusting, and brave like a Gryffindor. He can also be proud and stubborn. But he doesn't have a Gryffindor's emotional volatility or impulsiveness, and he does have a Hufflepuff's steadiness and deep roots. Plus, there's Clark's whole love of the earth to consider. Therefore I say Superman is a Hufflepuff.

Batman: Pragmatic and sceptical? Cunning, manipulative, and distrustful? Driven to succeed? Sure, Batman has a Ravenclaw's intelligence and intuitive mind, but he isn't satisfied with learning for the sake of learning. It's always to a purpose, to serve his agenda. Bruce Wayne, Crown Prince of Gotham, is a Slytherin through and through.

Wonder Woman: Proud, stubborn, brave, yes. Not impulsive, but she's less hidebound than Clark, I think. She's also more extreme--I'm working with modern WW, the one who argued that sometimes it is necessarily to kill--and has a strong sense of justice. While a case can be made for Diana being a Hufflepuff, her modern incarnation is closer to being a Gryffindor.

Green Arrow: Let's see... Brave? Goodhearted? Strong sense of justice? Stubborn? Impulsive? Emotionally volatile? Sucks at taking criticism? Prone to getting into stupid fights with people? I really love what this commenter said: Oliver Queen is so Gryffindor it hurts. All the Arrows are, I think, except Connor, who makes a decent Ravenclaw. (And Cissie, who is 50% Slytherin.)

Green Lantern: I'll echo Mightgodking.com re the GLs coming pre-sorted. Except for Kyle (who could be Hufflepuff, as one commenter argued), the whole lot of them are Gryffindor. John Stewart, who is the GL I know best via the DCAU, is definitely proud, stubborn, brave, and somewhat emotionally volatile. (Not that I can blame him given the crap he goes through!)

The Flash: Mightgodking.com: "The different Flashes... never had any particular trauma in their past that made them "driven to dispense justice"... They just got powers, looked at the world around them, and said, "Hey, I should help out with this." That's pretty much my interpretation of Clark Kent, which is why I feel both he and the Flashes make for excellent Hufflepuffs. (Well, ignoring Bart's incredibly Gryffindor-ish impulsiveness!)

Martian Manhunter: Introverted and intuitive, a bit disconnected from the rest of humanity. Highly intelligent, empathetic, and a good adviser. J'onn's telepathic ability and his role as tactician, deploying team members from his station in the Watchtower, reflect his personality. Definitely a Ravenclaw.

Aquaman: I don't know Aquaman very well, but I disagree with Mightgodking that he's Slytherin because he's ambitious. You could argue he's Slytherin because he's got the bloodline or because he's distrustful, but not because ambition is one of his defining traits. Aquaman is the furthest thing from "passive aggressive" or "manipulative". If he wants something, he just demands it. I'd say his personality is closer to Gryffindor.

Black Canary: I'm having a hard time pinning down exactly why I think Dinah is a Gryffindor. She's definitely not a Slytherin or Ravenclaw, and while she's kind and loyal and easygoing, I'm not sure she's a Hufflepuff. Possibly because I think she's too hotheaded and emotional and not rooted enough, given her propensity to bounce from place to place. She's more of a Gryffindor around Ollie, but she was a Hufflepuff to Roy when he needed her.

Just as I had to take into account that all superheroes are somewhat Gryffindor-ish to begin with, I had to take into account that all Bats are somewhat Slytherin-ish to begin with. That said...

Dick Grayson: Hufflepuff.

Barbara Gordon: Ravenclaw.

Jason Todd: I've seen arguments for Jason as Gryffindor, and while I can see that for pre-DitF Jason, his current incarnation strikes me as closer to Slytherin. He's not extroverted or trusting; in fact, he's even more distrustful than the average Bat. I don't know him well enough to say whether he's cunning or passive aggressive, but from what I can tell he's ambitious.

Tim Drake: Ravenclaw.

Cassandra Cain: Ravenclaw. Initially I had her as a Hufflepuff, but she's not enough of a people-person for that. She's loyal like a Hufflepuff, but has a Ravenclaw's open and intuitive mind.

Stephanie Brown: Gryffindor.

Damian Wayne: Slytherin.

And because I can't bear to exclude him...

Kon-El/Conner Kent: RIDICULOUSLY GRYFFINDOR.
