Well.

Apart from a bit of roleplaying with dude boy when we were young, I'd never considered myself a Gryffindor. As a house it always seemed, oh, too obvious, and I chalked it up to wanting to belong to the hero group and be able to roleplay through the main storylines. 

As the years went on I began looking into the other houses, because I felt that not everyone was cut out to be a hero (including myself), and that I had never been very brave, which is the cardinal characteristic for that house, unless one counts impulsive shit-stirring followed with guilt.

So, sure I'd fit great into Ravenclaw, given my background, but it was always a means to an end. Or Hufflepuff, because god knows I want, or need a hug, although I pitch my loyalties with too many factions and screw around with all of them. Or Slytherin, I guess, if to appeal to my fondness for grand plots and fits of selfishness, despite a lack of ambition beyond "Get money. Buy property. Get Internet. Get food.".

Damn. I posted about this a while ago.  I said,

Method 2: The DAYDverse reduction

It stated that one could determine one's house by identify what one believed to be worth sacrificing everything:

• Oneself - personal causes, personal vendetta, etc.
• People close to oneself - friends, family
• The truth - finding it, sharing it, all with the scientific method
• The greater good - an ideal, the vague idea of the many 

Sorting decision - Despite a distinct lack of ambition, Slytherin. Never Gryffindor. Not really Ravenclaw any more. Maybe a Hufflepuff. I shall err on the side of selfishness.

Derp. I don't even know what greater good there is. I'm not trying to make the world a better place. I am actively trying to change my effect middle name to "Switzerland" (as opposed to, oh, "Danger" or "Trouble"). I am confused.

Shouldn't make too much out of an online test, should I.

For reference, I am a reasonably happy INTP, or perhaps an ISTP. I used to think I was an INTJ, until I gave up on planning and herding people around.

It's really unusual how many people type as INTx. 

The coworker (paraphrased):

"So, my sister and law and I were driving through New Jersey, and we were held up by an Easter Parade. Now, my sister in law was raised Catholic, but she turned to me and snarled, 'Thank God that fucker only dies once a year.'"

And we both laughed.
