Advanced Hogwarts House Sorting Quiz

This test utilises a variety of branch theories used in order to not only define each designation but also work with a framework for questioning. Theories regarding elemental signs as well as existing mythology regarding each designation has been used in order to define what it means to belong to each House; be it Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Slytherin or Hufflepuff.

Questions with regard to ascertaining nominated attributes have been framed through situational and contextual responses through varying scenarios. Certain existing Pottermore questions have been reused or modified slightly in order to better fit this tests framework, with these elements being combined with conceptual Jungian archetypes prefaced through MBTI theory.

- Incredibly stressed, I hope I am not in any significant trouble with my teacher
- Not worried, because I’m sure my academic performance has been sound and that my teacher is simply wishing to check up on my progress
- Slightly worried because I’m not really sure how I’m doing academically and being late is never great
- Ehh… it's only 5-10 minutes, I’m sure whatever my teacher has to say won’t be affected by my tardiness. Plus I’ve got a pretty good excuse
You've been invited to Nearly Headless Nick’s death day party, which coincides with the great Halloween Feast, which all your friends will be attending. Which event will you go to?
- I will attend Nearly Headless Nicks death day party because it’s important to him and he would notice my absence for sure
- I will go to the Halloween Feast because it’s going to be a load more fun than a death day party… plus Sir Nicholas won’t notice my absence anyway
- I’ll briefly pop into the death day party making sure Sir Nicholas has seen me and then go to the Halloween feast which will be much more fun
- I’ll go to the Death Day party and if it’s fun I’ll stay; if not I’ve got a back up plan in the Halloween feast with all my friends
Your House: although no longer in contention themselves, is playing in a deciding Quidditch match against another House in the run to win this Seasons Trophy. The team you are versing has been excellent throughout the season but a recent dip in form has let another opposing House known for dirty play in with a shot at the title. If your House wins today the team known for unscrupulous play will win the cup. How do you feel about this?
- I want my team to do well no matter what the consequences
- I’m torn between my team’s success and not wanting the ‘bad’ team to win
- Whatever will be will be, and the winner will be fully deserving of the title regardless of tactics
- Other teams success is totally irrelevant to me, we are no longer in contention for the title so we must simply play to the best of our ability to ensure the title race is fair
Your house has won the House Cup. How do you feel?
- Ecstatic. Everyone has worked really hard this year and I’m so happy we are being recognised for our hard work
- Stoked that I get to share the trophy with all my friends knowing that we’ve all helped to attain this prize
- We don’t really get anything for winning the trophy but pride, so although it’s nice and I’m happy for my friends to get excited, I’m not really super concerned to be honest
- Yeah, nah… I don’t really care
You've just witnessed another student use a jinxing spell at Quidditch trials possibly preventing a deserved player from being selected over another. What do you do?

- Ignore what you saw. It’s just a game anyway
- Quietly inform the Quidditch captain later of what you saw and recommend a retrial between the two players involved
- Confront the spell caster demanding they tell the Quidditch Captain what they did and let the Captain decide on how to approach the scenario
You have feelings for another student in a rival house. You know that you have almost nothing in common but something about them draws you. How do you react?
- Tell them how you feel regardless of your differences
- Spend time with them under the guise of friendship to see whether they really are who you think they are before moving forward
- Ignore your feelings. You are two very different people with very different interests. Logic tells you it will never work
- Let things play out naturally. If they feel the same way perhaps they will approach you… if not, then so be it
You have your Owls coming up and feel you haven’t studied enough for them but your housemates are throwing a party in celebration of a recent Quidditch win. What do you do?
- Attend the party. One night of study missed will surely not impact your marks that much?
- Don’t go to the party with the intention to study
- Go to the party and live it up. No amount of study between now and then will truly make a difference so you might as well have fun
- Don’t go to the party. There will be time for partying after your Owls
Quidditch trials are coming up and you have ambitions to join the team. How do you prepare?
- Practice as much as possible. I want to be on that team and I will do anything it takes to achieve that
- Practice very little. If I am good enough I will make the team on my own laurels and I don’t want training to get in the way of other pursuits
- Don't practice at all. I’m good enough to make the team on talent alone and I need to focus on my studies
- Don’t practice at all. Making the team would be cool but it's not a major concern for me at this time when compared to my education or spending time with friends
You have all day to spend in Hogsmeade, where do you spend your time and money?
- Honeydukes with my friends of course… nothing better than a few butter beers shared amongst friends
- A few solitary drinks at the three broomsticks sounds like a lovely way to spend my day off
- I’ll stick to the common rooms thanks. I’ve got loads on my plate at the moment and I’d rather spend my free time catching up on study and relaxing in bed
- How can I choose just one place? I need some new quills, my broomstick could use some maintenance and I was hoping to pop into Fred and Georges shack for some Machiavellian hijinks as well
Your family is going abroad for the Christmas holidays to catch up with distant relatives that you aren’t entirely familiar with. They have suggested maybe staying at Hogwarts over the holidays is best but nonetheless have offered to take you. What do you do?
- Stay at Hogwarts for the holidays. It’ll be good to spend some time alone and the castle is always so quiet in the holiday season
- Go on holidays with your family. The holiday season is meant to be spent with family, and even though you don't know these relatives so well, they are family… and what are you going to do at Hogwarts anyway?
- Stay at Hogwarts. I don’t really want to hang out with strangers and some of my friends are staying here anyway so it’s not as if I’ll be alone. Ill make the best of staying here
- Go on holidays. I’m not staying at Hogwarts over the holidays! What will I do? Study? No thanks
Your studying as hard as possible for your upcoming potions exam, but a question posed to you by Prof. Snape as a subtle hint to what may be on the exam directs you towards the restricted section of the library. What do you do?
- Request access to the restricted section through Prof. Pince or Prof. Snape. You might be denied but there’s no sense breaking into the restricted section for a question that might not be on the test
- Break into the restricted section. No one’s going to find out and knowing Snape, that question will be on the test
- It’s just one question. Don't worry about it
- Surely Prof. Snape wouldn't put a question on the test that only someone who had access to the restricted section would know? That's unfair and unethical so I don't need to worry about it
One of your friends feels uneasy about an upcoming duel in Charms class. What do you say to them?
- Tell them not to worry about the result of the duel, but rather to focus on technique. Prof. Flitwick will notice good form even if they do lose badly
- You’re basically an expert, so give them some tips on offensive spells in order to best whoever they come up against… even if it’s you!
- Reassure them they are good at other classes like herbology. They don’t need to exceed in every class after all
- Jokingly laugh that they are going to get creamed. Nothing you can tell them will help now, and banter might just make them smile and not worry so much
Which historical/ fictional Muggle figure do you think resonates with Voldermort’s ideology the most?
- Hitler
- Genghis Khan
- Frankenstein's Monster
- Erik Lensheer/ Magneto
One of your friends with Muggle parents has been raving about a particular book that they've just finished and wants to lend to you. It is by a Muggle author so you probably wont get it due to cultural differences. What will you do?
- I know my friend was really into it, but it doesn't really seem like my sort of thing. I might just say I’m too busy to read it
- I don’t really want to read it, but I will because my friend recommended it to me
- I’m always open to new things. You never know, maybe Muggle culture will be fascinating... plus my friend liked it, so why not?
- My friend recommended this book. I will read this book
One of your close friends has been murdered and you know who did it. You come across Death who offers you a choice between the three Deathly Hallows. Which do you choose?
- The Resurrection Stone to revive your friend
- The Elder Wand to seek revenge on my friends killer
- The Cloak of Invisibility to assassinate the murderer and avoid all evidence of persecution
- The Cloak of Invisibility simply to avoid known consequences of the other two Hallows
You have the day off study for your House Founders birthday and some of your friends have suggested a swim in the Black lake before going down to Hogsmeade. What do you do?
- Sounds great!
- No way! Do they even know what’s in the Black lake? I’ll tag along to Hogsmeade but I don’t feel like being tossed about by the giant Squid today
- Yeah totally, but I’ll definitely be wary of the merepeople while I’m swimming… can’t be too carful
- F*** THAT! I aint going anywhere near that s***. Plus What do I care about some old fossils birthday… means nothing to me
Prof. Slughorn is having another dinner party, but this time he has requested everyone bring a date. What do you do?
- Bring my significant other obviously
- O GOD NO! I’m single so I might just say I’m sick and not go
- I might just invite one of my friends… people will talk about us seeing as Slughorn specifically asked for partners to attend, but I don’t have much choice
- Use this as an opportunity to ask out someone I’ve long admired
You pass a homeless Muggle in the street. You know Wizarding Law forbids you from interacting with him/her in any way, but you might be able to help this person with your magic. What do you do?
- Do nothing. The law is there for a reason and I don’t know this person or why they are homeless. Certainly not worth risking the security of the Wizarding World
- Subtly use a conjuring spell to fabricate some Muggle currency. No one will ever know… hopefully?
- Introduce the Muggle to the Wizarding World and try and find them employment as a Squib
- I feel bad, but there’s really nothing I can do
You've just had a heated argument with one of your friends about a suspected Wizard criminal tormenting Muggles in another country. You believed the wizard was innocent (because why would he even bother with Muggles anyway?). But recent news has suggested your friend was right and the Wizard was guilty of harassing Muggles based on prejudice. What do you do?
- Apologise to my friend. They were right and I was wrong
- I’m allowed to have an opinion. I may have been wrong, but had my friend been wrong would he/she have apologised to me?
- I’m not sorry at all. I don’t know why my friend got so angry about it anyway. The news is from another country and has zero impact on our lives as wizards
- I’ll try and make amends but I’m not apologising. We were both just speculating on the news and If he/she is going to make a big deal about being right then I don't really want to hang out with them anymore anyway
You've been tasked by Hagrid to look after a Flobberworm for the day in order to win a special prize. It really is a very boring creature and requires literally no special care anyway. What do you do?
- Care of Magical Creatures isn’t my favourite class, but it’s important I take every class seriously and do my best to keep the worm on my person all day ensuring its safety. Even if it is inconvenient
- I’ll just leave it in its container in the common room. Everybody else is doing it because these things just don’t die no matter what you do
- Yeah look, it's a worm. Not really fussed if it dies… if that's even possible? Plus knowing Hagrid the prize will be something gross anyway
- It could be fun to have the little guy with me all day? Plus I kind of want to know what the prize is?
You've just overheard someone in your class whisper hurtful comments about one of your friends who has Muggle heritage. Your friend didn't hear. What do you do?
- Say nothing. Your friend won’t find out, and that bully is an idiot anyway… why fuel the fire?
- Immediately tell the teacher of the prejudiced comments said by the bully. It’s the 21st century man. We don’t have time for that bulls**t anymore
- Tell the bully off to his face. His pureblood family is probably inbred anyway… d**k
- Hit that motherf****r in the jaw! How dare he say that about your friend! Not on my watch!
Which is the most powerful/ best Hallow in your opinion?(Noting that you can use it, or choose not to use it in any scenario)
- Resurrection Stone
- Elder Wand
- Cloak of Invisibility
