[align=center]Tomorrow evening, the train will arrive at Hogwarts and it will be time for the Sorting to begin! Before you reach Hogwarts and get sorted into your houses, there are a few things that you must do to ensure that the Sorting Hat has a good idea of who you are and what you want out of your time at Hogwarts. In order to do this, you MUST complete three exercises in this thread. The first exercise is a personality test, consisting of 30 questions, that you must complete. You may only answer one option per question. For the second exercise, you will have to make a list in this thread of where you WANT everyone to end up. The Sorting Hat takes into account what house you want to be in. You must place five players in each house, in the specific order that you wish to see them placed in that house. For example, say I want Hedwig to be in Gryffindor more than anyone else, and I want Rowena to be in Gryffindor as well, but not as much as I want other players there. My Gryffindor ranking would look like this: 1. Hedwig 2. Salazar 3. Bellatrix 4. Norbert 5. Rowena For this exercise you must list ALL 20 player left in the game, including yourself. You may not list a player more than once. For the third exercise, you will do something similar to the second exercise. You will once again place all 20 players into the separate houses. Except instead of basing your placements on what you WANT, base it on where you believe each person should be placed based on their personality traits. If you are not familiar with the Hogwarts Houses, here is a very brief rundown. Gryffindors are known for being courageous, Hufflepuffs are known for being loyal, Ravenclaws are known for being intelligent, and Slytherins are known for being ambitious. Based on this knowledge, you must place all 20 players, including yourself, into the four houses. You will place five players in each house, with the same ranking system as the second exercise. The person that you believes best matches the traits of a Gryffindor, you will put as number 1 in Gryffindor, while someone who kind of possess those traits, you would list as number five. You are not permitted to simply give the same list as the second exercise. They must be different. You MUST complete all three of these exercises by 3:00PM EST tomorrow afternoon. I am not joking with this. If you don't, there will be severe consequences for you. You will complete all three exercises within that thread. Posted below is the personality test. You may only answer one option per question. [align=center]1.
