I took the Hogwarts House sorting quiz and got Gryffindor. Honestly, I always kind of saw myself as more of a Ravenclaw, but I guess I’m open to being a Gryffindor, too! What should I know about my newfound home? What kind of personality traits are associated with the House?

Ravenclaw and Gryffindor have a lot in common (they’re both into respect, determination, and seeking justice) so it’s not surprising you’d have some overlap! In terms of personality traits, Gryffindor creates natural leaders who are courageous, brave, and deeply concerned with ethics. This is a House that strongly cares about fairness, so you likely have a strong moral character. In terms of less-than-awesome traits, Gryffindor can be kind of reckless and impulsive. It’s not a great House if you want to control a gambling habit, if that makes sense. Gryffindor can also be quite prone to emotional outbursts, so if things don’t go your way try to not lose your lid!

Gryffindors are known for their courage! They're fearless and are not afraid to speak their mind or stand up for others. This bravery often comes with confidence and a willingness to take risks. The flipside of this is that they can have a big ego or are stubborn and opinionated. They feel their emotions strongly and can sometimes be reckless if they're overconfident. But they can make great friends and leaders because they believe strongly in being loyal and helping others.

You know how Slytherins are made out to be villains? I feel like Gryffindors are made out to be heroes, but they're not all amazing, they have bad qualities too. Gryffindors can be cocky and arrogant because of their bravery. They can think that they know better than everyone else, which opens them up to blindspots and can rub people the wrong way. I think Gryffindors can learn to collaborate with and even depend on others better. They don't have to do everything themselves, even if they're trying to noble about it. But they have good hearts.
