Since Houses are basically the results of a personality test, I'm curious how they match up with the most accurate* personality test out there: the Myers-Briggs personality test. There are 12 different Myers-Briggs personality types, so ideally there would be 4 for each house. But... I can't decide which four work for each house.
According to this site, the types can be classified into four groups: Protectors, Creators, Intellectuals, and Visionaries.
Protectors (ESTJ, ESFJ, ISTJ, ISFJ):
SJs are observant, stable and motivated by a need to maintain security. They are realistic, routinized administrators requiring tasks be completed correctly and that people behave appropriately. SJs make thorough examinations to ensure everything is done according to plan. They make sure no more and no less credit is given than due. When a need arises, they are quick to provide a solution, provided that the need is justified. SJs are not driven by impulse, but rather by concrete fact. By virtue of their reliable, diligent, industrious, persevering nature, they make excellent leaders.
Creators (ESTP, ESFP, ISTP, ISFP):
SPs are observant, experiential and primarily driven by sensation. They are flexible, aesthetically-aware, "here and now" people that, with hardly a moment's notice, will go where their senses lead. SPs naturally make an effort (with a realistic approach) not to miss an opportunity that may prove to be thrilling, pleasing or otherwise valuable. SPs are are laid back, open-minded and love to feel alive. They have a tendency toward athletics and anything that involves creating or crafting.
Intellectuals (ENTJ, ENTP, INTJ, INTP):
NTs are introspective, logical and on a constant quest for knowledge. They are practical and unsentimental in their approach to problem solving. The actions of an NT are precise and follow a systematic course. Abstract, theoretical and technically adept, NTs are naturally inventive. They can also be described as being analytical, intellectual, inquisitive, independent and complex.
Visionaries (ENFJ, ENFP, INFJ, INFP):
NFs are introspective, intuitive and highly idealistic. They are subjective, compassionate "feeler" people that desire to contribute goodness and meaning to the lives of others. They are effective at doing this through their nurturing, insightful and encouraging nature. NFs despise conflict. They will do everything they can to make sure their loved ones get along with each other and are happy. NFs are imaginitive, creatively inclined and passionate about their choice causes.
As you can see, my best guess is that Gryffindor = Protectors, Slytherin = Creators, Ravenclaw = Intellectuals, and Hufflepuff = Visionaries. I think Ravenclaw matches up the best and Gryffindor the worst. So...
What is your house and your personality type (don't know your type? click here)? Does it match up to the comparison I put here? What do you think? surprised
