Reflection #1 - The Sorting Hat: Friend of Foe?



On the Pottermore website, I went through a trial of questions in order to get myself "sorted" into one of the houses that are located in Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The house you get sorted into relies solely on your personality, values, and how you function as a person. When I took this quiz to get sorted, I was placed in Ravenclaw. In the movies and books, the people that are chosen by "the hat" to be in Ravenclaw have their own unique characteristics that they all have in common. Some of the characteristics the Ravenclaw inhabitants posses are logic, intelligence, & honesty. Fortunately, my characteristics seem to glide with those of the Ravenclaws, considering Strength Finder titles me as a learner, an achiever, analytical, and intellectual. Those traits seem to go hand and hand with those of the Ravenclaws. Honestly, I was surprised with my results on Strength Finder to some extent. I've never really seen myself as being any of those things, but once I read about each characteristic individually, it made complete sense. I plan on majoring in accounting, so I can definitely use my personality and characteristics to my advantage in the business world in the future.
