what house do you belong to?
i'm sort of a closet harry potter geek (or so i believe). i take great pleasure in many things harry potter, though i try to keep my addictions in check. however, while i was in london, there were questions of what house i belonged to... apparently, someone had started a house list in the animation lab, showing who belonged to which house. so of course i had to take the test, right?
some of the following quizzes had snazzy graphics and such to post on your blog, but as i was using someone else's laptop at the time, i didn't want to take too much time posting. so the following are stripped down to links and results. :)
update: i started retaking these tests in the comfort of my own home while i was sick. i felt inspired while rewatching harry potter and the sorcerer's stone. :) anyway, that's what the numbers (#1 and #2) are for.
Find Your Hogwarts House: The Harry Potter Sorting Hat Personality Test
1st time: 98 hufflepuff, 88 ravenclaw, 78 gryffindor, 14 slytherin
2nd time: 84 ravenclaw, 78 gryffindor, 77 hufflepuff, 52 slytherin
(haha... i must have not cared about people as much the second time around :D)
someone pointed out that the results were too close to be certain, and that i should take at least two more tests. also, i got the impression that this test was too gameable.
Hogwarts House Sorting Quiz
#1: ravenclaw
#2: ravenclaw (in detail: 15 ravenclaw, 12 gryffindor, 11 hufflepuff, 6 slytherin)
but i'd been told to take at least two more. and besides, this test just didn't feel very... er... scientific. :D so...

#1: 56 gryffindor, 28 ravenclaw, 32 hufflepuff, 8 slytherin
#2: 48 gryffindor, 20 ravenclaw, 20 hufflepuff, 14 slytherin
now it was really confusing. the two tests i was supposed to take to clarify actually confused things more. i was told to take three more tests.

in order: hufflepuff, ravenclaw, gryffindor, slytherin

that just put me back to the first test. so unhelpful. besides, i was supposed to take three more...
Title: Your Hogwarts House (Harry Potter)
#1: gryffindor
#2: ravenclaw
it may have been at this point that i started to notice a pattern in what kind of questions were biasing me more towards one house than another for the different houses. i don't really want to bias anyone here, so i will keep my theories to myself. well... people can ask me about them later, i guess. :D
The Hogwarts Sorting Hat
#1: hufflepuff
#2: gryffindor
clearly, the additional three tests didn't do much clarifying. so... i added a few more on my own.

so having gotten three straight gryffindors, and intuitively feeling that i wasn't really ravenclaw or hufflepuff (and clearly not slytherin)....
GRYFFINDOR!
so my saga ends. :D what are you?
incidentally, it seems like most people in my program are hufflepuffs. there are a few ravenclaws and even fewer gryffindors. with slytherin being rare. at least two of the four lead instructors are hufflepuffs. i have a fledgling theory that this has a strong influence on how the program is. :D
update cont.: some new tests...

Hogwarts Sorting Hat (OKCupid!)
gryffindor
it's pretty clear that i'm gryffindor, with ravenclaw as a strong second. though, i pause at gryffindor's maroon and gold colors. ravenclaw is blue and bronze...
everyone knows that blue and gold are the best colors, anyway. :D (maybe that's why i keep getting ravenclaw and gryffindor ;D)
go bears!
