I’m mostly Ravenclaw, but I never forget to eat lunch.
And let’s not talk about taxes…

That was interesting! It’s the only quiz I’ve taken that put me in Gryffindor anything. I argued with it a bit, but it really seems like that fit for my primary.
We think you’re a Gryffindor Primary and a Ravenclaw Secondary.
Gryffindor Primaries care about their gut morality. They want to do the right thing, and they think part of that answer comes from trusting yourself. They can still be thoughtful, careful, and rational, but they have a strong belief in the value of moral compasses. Some things are just wrong, no matter how many pretty words you use.
Ravenclaw Secondaries collect-- hobbies, skillsets, knowledge.

Ravenclaw, and taxes are very tidily in order, sorted, scanned, filed, etc.
Finishing the challenge - I got busy and didn’t have time to track? And then when I thought of it the day was over? But - the days I did track it did offer perspective. And with the collapse of things the last 2 weeks of the month everything normal changed to building new day schedules.
For example, I sleep more, watch less tv, tackling more home projects, and doing less “job” work, due the nature of my role.

I’ve just spent far too much time on the Sorting Hat Chats quiz and can’t tell what my Primary is anymore – it’s definitely changed since I last dicked around with this, back when I was coming out of a period of time where I was deeeefinitely burned. It gives me Gryffindor primary but also strongly suggests Hufflepuff and Slytherin, and those feel kind of right, too. Not sure what’s going on with that.
Definitely coming out as Ravenclaw secondary right now.

Oooh, interesting. I’ve been going through the quiz and while I thought I was hufflepuff primary, it suggested Gryffindor primary, due to a lot of focus on gut feelings. But the description of Slytherin primary, of “I care for me and mine first,” also speaks to me strongly, while the hufflepuff “I care about everyone equally because people are people, not because certain people are my favorite” doesn’t speak to me.
Going through more…

Okay! I’m pretty sure I’m:
- Slytherin Primary with a Gryffindor Primary Model
- Burned Hufflepuff Secondary with a Ravenclaw Secondary Model
Is it weird to be everything?
Long description
We think you’re a Slytherin Primary and a Burned Hufflepuff Secondary.
Slytherin Primaries prioritize their own selves and loved ones first. Slytherins don’t feel guilty or selfish about this-- they feel righteous and moral. The most important thing is to look after your own. Abandoning or hurting one of your own is the worst thing you can do.
A Burned Hufflepuff Secondary might want to be reliable, hard-working, and trustworthy, but they feel like they are (or like people think they are) flaky, shaky, or flighty. Doing things steadily and well-- showing up-- is the right way to achieve their goals, but Burned Puffs know that’s not going to work within their capabilities. So they take other paths and use other tools-- maybe a Gryffindor’s bluntness, a Slytherin’s flexibility, or a Ravenclaw’s collection of skills and tools.
You also may have a Gryffindor Primary Model. You may have a Ravenclaw Secondary Model.
Gryffindor House is the house of justice and bravery. If you model Gryffindor Primary, you also value these things and like to live by them-- but you wouldn’t feel guilty for dropping those goals in the service of your own priorities (whether that’s sticking by your chosen family or stopping your emotional biases from sending you down the wrong path). But you’d like to value these things. They’re good, solid, and satisfying. If the phrase “some things are just wrong” appeals to you, you might be a Gryffindor or have Gryffindor model.
Ravenclaw is the House of data collection, analysis, and study, and Ravenclaws use those values to help them live, act, and succeed. If you model Ravenclaw Secondary, you also value these things and like to live by them. You like to be prepared, skilled, and knowledgeable-- but you wouldn’t feel guilty for abandoning those values in the service of other, higher priorities. It would be nice if you could prioritize aquiring skills and experiences, learning, and preparing, but sometimes other things are more important or come more easily to your hand.
If you model Ravenclaw secondary, then you use these tools primarily when you think they will help or when they will be fun, but are less likely to jump to them when another way could be just as effective—- whether that’s confronting your problem head-on, playing things by ear, toiling, or calling on your community.

Where’s the quiz link? I missed it and need an internet black hole to waste time in apparently.

Ugh maybe Gryffindor primary is right. I DON’T KNOW WHO I AM ANYMORE.
I love it when Hogwarts houses bring up a little bit of existential crisis. Just a little. As a treat.

I’ll have to try that. I’ve been playing whack-a-mole with several existential crises, because that’s definitely a great thing to do during a pandemic.

Thanks!
Huh, I thought I’d be Ravenclaw/Slytherin but it says I’m Gryffindor and either Hufflepuff or Slytherin. No Ravenclaw to be found! Ah but maybe I’m a burned Gryffindor - basically I’m a cynical Gryffindor. That does sort of fit - why charge forward when, fuck it, it’s all going to burn down anyway no matter what I do. (Gee doesn’t that seem bright as sunny? And that’s me even when there’s not a plague on.)

see this is where I am and why I don’t know who I ammmm because the test is very values based and right now my value is kind of, well, mental survival.

Yeah, I really like the burned houses, it clarifies a lot of things. Like I would love to show up and have grit and be hardworking, but burned out sometime around college from doing so, and now find that anxiety, depression, and ADHD make it really hard to demonstrate those values. As a result I find it much easier to use Ravenclaw tools to get ahead because I’m just kinda smart.

I think this was probably me in grad school. Plus I really really valued what I was doing when I went in – like, I thought knowledge production and teaching people how to think critically was really, really important.
Now it’s like 
nothing matters
Uhhhh sorry to take this thread there. But yeah. Burned houses, baby.

It’s weird, because I think at some point I may have been a Ravenclaw secondary. Then Grad School hit, I got crippling depression rather than just mild depression, and was like, “oh shit, grit and showing up actually matters” and I started coming around to hard work being more important and thinking about how much I could accomplish if only I was hardworking, but basically couldn’t do it anymore from then on and have been happy with a 50% duty cycle with my intelligence to prop me up ever since…

Reading more, it’s maybe still possible I’m a burned hufflepuff primary?
"Burned Puffs look a lot like Slytherin Primaries in this way except that a Burned Puff wants to care about the whole world. They wish they could, but they just can’t. This exclusion of others feels wrong and even evil (burned Houses often consider themselves “bad people”), but the world is an unjust place and you have to try to live in it. "

And I just had therapy and am wondering if I’m actually just a burned Slytherin hahahaha

I probably should get therapy, but my therapist moved and changed practices before this shit happened, and I don’t wanna establish a relationship with a new one over the phone :-/
