Well, I guess you could say that this is related to the quiz posted by [livejournal.com profile] my_badgers_27

I'm asking whether you thought you would get into the house that your in now.Personally, I'd always thought of myself in Ravenclaw, however, when I re-read my sorting app after it had been posted I suspected that a lot of people would get a Hufflepuff vibe from it. It turns out that I was right, I recieved a majority of Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff votes, the Ravenclaw won out in the end. I guess I was a little apprehensive about the idea of being sorted into Hufflepuff, not that I have anything against Puffs, I just didn't think I would fit in.

So, were you surprised about the house you were sorted into? Did you get a mixture of votes? Could you see the *insert house here* in yourself?

When I got sorted long ago whenit was [livejournal.com profile] hogwartshouses I got almost exact amount of votes to be in Gryffindor...and naturally I wanted to be there because I was new to the books and of course everyone one time or another thinks they're a Gryffindor...but as I participated and then when we won the house cup second term...it was a changing experience and I really got to know my PUFFYNESS...I think being a PUFFIAN is the coolest thing in the world...the people are great and funny, I see how loyal i am...and everyone agrees with me!!!
And I can't see me anywhere else...So I'm happy being a Hufflepuff!!!

I had a lot of Hufflepuff votes to go with my Gryffindor votes, and I could really see msyelf being in either house, but I think there's more Gryff in me overall. So no, I wasn't surprised by either vote actually.

I definitely wasn't surprised to be placed into Hufflepuff since that house has the qualities that I generally find in myself. Actually, I just read over my application for the first time (I was sorted about 8 months ago) and looked at the votes I got. I got all Hufflepuff votes except for 2 which went to Gryffindor. I do believe that I have all houses in me...but I love being a Puff! I'm proud to be one!

I honestly thought that the tug when I was being voted would be between Hufflepuff and Gryffindor. I wouldn't mind which House I would have been sorted into because I know myself to be a Gryffinpuff hybrid.

I was totally shocked at how many saw me as a Ravenclaw. It was quite flattering at how articulate people kept saying I was. I have nothing against the passionate Claws at all, I just did not expect that many votes. Maybe by 5 votes I was sorted into the House where I just feel I belong.

I have and always will be a Gryffindor at heart. Always. =)

herm.
I figured I'd get into Ravenclaw. I don't know if I subconsciously pushed or if it's me naturally, but interesting point of conversation.

I'm such a mix of 4 houses, it's really a wonder I got sorted at all when I read back over my app :(

I'm comfortable and happy where I am, and they seem to tolerate well my quirks :)
...though I wouldn't mind perhaps visiting another house or common room sometime ;)

Well, here is how things worked for me. Before I applied in my psychology class my teacher had us take the Myers-Briggs personality test. He then told us to go to this website where we could find out which house we would be in. I, according to being an INFP, was in Gryffindor(teacher was in Slytherin). Before that I never thought I would be and would be in Ravenclaw. When I applied here almost all my votes were for Gryffindor. So I guess it was not really a surprise, but it kind of was.

I do see the bravery in myself. I mean, I kind of had to use it to get through the past year. So yeah, that is just how I see things. I guess I do, and so do my friends when I tell them.

I've always seen myself as a Ravenclaw, though some people think I'm a Slytherin. I'm actually a Slytherin in another community, and a Slytherclaw at [livejournal.com profile] fourhouseunion. Usually when I am being sorted, I get mostly Ravenclaw votes with a few Slytherins thrown in there.

I definitely wasn't surprised I ended up in Hufflepuff, but I could have easily seen myself in Gryffindor or Ravenclaw too. I knew I wouldn't be in Slytherin, but the other three were up in the air. I got a lot more Gryffindor votes than I thought I would, but I was really surprised when I only got one Ravenclaw vote. I'm really, really grade-driven in school and put a lot of time and energy into it, so I was shocked that only one person thought me a Ravenclaw. Looking back at my app, I see that I really didn't answer in a terribly Ravenclawish way, although I'm inclined to think I could have fit in there. So I guess the moral of all that was I can see why I'm a Hufflepuff, since overall, that seems the closest to my personality -- I was just more surprised at my secondary Houses during my Sorting. I thought Ravenclaw would be a MUCH higher percentage. I do so love my House though, nonetheless. :)

I had figured I would end up in Gryffindor or Ravenclaw, but I had thought that my wits would outweigh my boldness/chivalry. I was a little surprised it went more toward Gryffindor than Ravenclaw, but I am happy with where I was sorted, nonetheless.

this is a very interesting question. Before I started any of this sorting stuff I thought of myself as aravenclaw, because i have raw intelligence. However, i've come to realize through sorting and my grades that I may be smart, but I am not studious or organized, and i don't have the heart of a ravenclaw. My first sorting community sorted me as hufflepuff, which was a huge shock. But i have always had a soft spot for puffs, so i decided that it'd fit. Then I started thinking that i have the heart of a gryffindor. I don't classify myself as brave but I think that I have the heart that gryffindor's have. I almost always agree with what Harry does, and while I might not do everything he does, I do think that I fit in in gryffindor, though hufflpeuff and slytherin work too.

Well, it's funny...I went back and looked at my application a couple of weeks ago because I was thinking about this very question. Personally, I could see myself in either Gryffindor or Slytherin. I definitely have the ambition of snake, but I also have the determination and passion of a Gryffindor.
On my application, I ended up with 10 or 11 votes for Gryffindor and 9 or 10 for Slytherin (it was very close). But in retrospect, I am quite pleased that I was sorted into Gryffindor. It's a great house! And it really is where I belong. <3

I was pretty surprised; I was positive that I would get sorted into Hufflepuff, or possibly Ravenclaw. After the fact, I think I was sorted into the correct House after all. But I was surprised at the number of votes - about 5 for each House except Gryff, where I recieved over 60!

I expected to be a Puff because I'm so loyal and just and all that jazz. *shrugs*

I was surprised at being voted into Ravenclaw, when I thought for sure I would be a Hufflepuff. I'm happy where I am, though, but I'm still a huge Ravenpuff. :P

I wasn't too surprised to be sorted into Ravenclaw, it's where i always saw myself. I knew there would be some Slytherin votes, as the last few sorting quizzies (ones based on proper personality test thingys)I'd done had put me there in no uncertain terms. I was however, surprised at how many Gryffindor votes I got!

I thought I was going to be in Gryffindor actually, because of my strong opinions and fiery temper. However I got into Ravenclaw because people looked at my age and thought it was a good application for it. (I'm 14.) However I also got many Hufflepuff votes. I'm a huge mixture of all three of those houses, every test I do I get almost equal with Gryffindor and Ravenclaw and then below with Hufflepuff. I am most definitely not a Slytherin though, although I love them. I'm not ambitious or cunning in the slightest. (I digress).
Now people tend to say I'm a Gryffindor and Hufflepuff mix. But I truly believe I'm a Ravenclaw, and I think that the true judge of that is yourself. I see the Gryffindor in me strongly too, and I'm proud anytime I am sorted into Gryffindor. However I really don't see myself as a Hufflepuff anymore. I'm not that kind-hearted, and I'm most certainly not hard-working. But hey. It's very interesting for me to see what people think.
And in the quiz below, I'm a Gryffinclaw! I was so pleased, because I really think that's me to a tee.

I usually get a mixture of Slytherin and Gryffindor votes, always with the Gryffindor just winning out. I think that's a fairly good assessment of my character, really. On the outside I'm all Gryff - passionate, reckless, tempestuous and so forth. But somewhere on the inside I have a little bit of cunning - just a dash of that Slytherin subtlety. I know what I want and I know what to do to get it. But despite that, I'll always consider myself a Gryffindor first and foremost. My heart is painted red and gold, and I have a very A type personality that demands a lot of attention. So yeah, all in all I think I'm in the right place.

I always thought I'd be a mix between Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw being a little bookwormy geek at uni who went to an all girls grammar school (think: Beaubatons... the uniform was even a bit similar...) But when I applied here only one person out of my bijillions of votes picked up on a Ravenclaw vibe at all which surprised me.

But I was actually quite pleased people put me in Puff :)

I didn't know where I'd be, but I thought maybe Hufflepuff. IIRC, it was nearly a tie between Gryffindor and Slytherin, with a bunch of Raveclaw and *no* Hufflepuffs.

Gryffindor was the only house I knew wasn't right for me. I originally didn't see much Slytherin in me, but every single person I've told in RL about this community says, "Don't tell me, I just know you're in Slytherin!" I can definitely see the Slytherin in me now.

I'm so glad I got sorted into Slytherin. The housemates I know are lovely, and I'm sure the ones I don't are too.

I wasn't at all surprised to be sorted into Hufflepuff. I was in another sorting community before and i was voted hufflepuff and i thought, i have no hufflepuff in me! then i realized that there was no other house i could be in. I came here fully expecting to be in hhufflepuff. i would have gotten the shock of my life if i werent!

I actually thought I was going to get a lot more slythering votes than I did. I did get quite a few but I really thought it would be a really close race between Slytherin and Ravenclaw. But I am apparently a Ravenclaw hands down which is good because I love my house!

I was rather surprised that I was sorted into Slytherin. For the most part, I do consider myself a Slytherclaw though those who know me well say I'm more of a Ravenclaw. It came as a surprise to see that most people were voting Hufflepuff or Slytherin for me though upon further reflection, I can understand it and I have far more 'Puff in me than I originally realized. I'm glad that I'm in Slytherin though because we have an awesome house

I have always seen myself in Ravenclaw, but I knew I might get sorted into Hufflepuff as well. I have always liked the Hufflepuffs in the book and that house here seems completely fun so that would have been fine. I was extremely excited to get Ravenclaw, though, and I love the house.

I pretty much knew I was a total Hufflepuff. I have a little bit of every house in me, but Hufflepuff comes out on top. On my application I only got one Ravenclaw vote, and the rest were Hufflepuff.

I knew definitely a 'Puff before I got here. I tried another sorting community that put me in Ravenclaw, but I never felt like I belonged there. When I came here and was sorted into Hufflepuff, I felt like everyone here really knew what they were doing. I also got a lot of Gryffindor votes, which surprised me a bit, but I guess I'm a Gryffinpuff at heart.

Although I could see my puffish characteristics, I always thought I was more of a Ravenclaw, mostly because I have done hundreds of sorting quizzes and always end up there, so I was a bit surprised when I was sorted into Hufflepuff. Though I did get quite a few Ravenclaw votes when I was sorted. However, I was really surprised at the number of Gryffindor votes I got when I was sorted, I never really saw myself as much of a Gryffindor, but it was neat to see how other people saw me.

Anyway, I am glad that I am in the puff house, it's a lot of fun and I have met some great people. I now see how much of a puff I really am and wouldn't have it any other way.

When I was sorted (maybe two weeks ago?) I figured I'd end up in either Hufflepuff or Ravenclaw. Never did I imagine I'd end up in Slytherin, but after reading people's extra comments when I was sorted (which was my favorite part of being sorted) I began to see a lot more of Slytherin in me than I had realized. After Slytherin, the next highest amount of votes was for Gryffindor, and I think I have a healthy balance of both in me. I'm pretty ambitious, but in the end my morals often keep me from using any means to get where I'm going.

Either way, I'm glad to be where I am. I haven't really met many housemates yet, but they seem pretty cool and, hey, I've only been here a week.

nice topic by the way
I always thought myself a Ravenclaw. However, after I reread my app. and I thought about it. I am a true Hufflepuff. I have some Claw characteristics but the Puff shines through. I was surprised at first but now I love it and agree wholeheartedly with my sorting. I did get a majority of Puff votes but the second most was Ravenclaw. I my fellow Hufflepuffs!!

I totally thought I'd end up in Hufflepuff - I don't think I'm brave enough to be a Gryffindor, really! But now that I'm there I'm quite happy and I fit in just fine with my lovely housemates. My votes were 33 Gryff, 28 Puff, 26 Claw (that surprised me), and 0 Slytherin (not surprising).

And yes I'm a dork, I was keeping count of my votes the whole time and I saved them all in a special folder in my email :)

I had mostly Gryffindor votes, obviously. But I also had quite a few Ravenclaw and Slytherin votes [though only one Hufflepuff vote overall.] I don't remember my exact tally, but I was over 30 for Gryffindor, and in the 20s for Ravenclaw and Slytherin, I think? I might have been just under 20 for Slytherin...

Anyway, I have to admit, I didn't expect to be sorted into Gryffindor at all, but I'm far from disappointed. I only got stamped today, but I've already been looking at the comms and finding things that interest me -- and I've read back in the common room for Gryffindors, and I think that I'm going to enjoy it. :)

What's really amusing to me, though, is that I really thought that I'd probably have Hufflepuff -- and I only got one Hufflepuff vote! :D I was amused.
