ATTF: what's your profile? (aka serious, fun and silly personality tests)
Hello dearest bar! It's that time of the week! Are you ready to have some fun here? Today we should discuss (and if you choose, do) some personality tests. You know, those quizzy type of things that usually tell you what kind of bookshelf you are (messy, fancy, pretty... okay, I'm kidding), or give you some kind of profile, telling you about your most important personality traits? So here's what we can do:
1. I have a couple of fun links to quizzes and tests you can fill out, report here and tell everyone what kind of results you got, if you're surprised or not surprised at all
2. discuss and imagine how this would go with Clint and Natasha - every organization like SHIELD has psych evals. What do you think how that works at SHIELD? What kind of profile would Clint get? Is Natasha able to cheat on her psych evals? Is there some kind of running joke, for example, a competition who can give most outlandish answers to intern psychologists and give them a scare (this totally should happen in fic). Do agents try to find out about their results? Do you imagine Clint, Nat, Avengers, or other characters from MCU/Marvel taking one of those Hogwarts house tetsts and then freaking over the results?
3. have fun and get to know each other better, discuss everything and anything
Anyway, the whole point of it all is to have fun, so here we go.
1. Myers-Briggs personality test - this is a serious one, and it takes a little bit of time to fill out, but usually gives pretty good insight into personality traits.
2. the four temperaments test - somewhat simpler, it gives you a basic idea of your personality type.
3. Hogwarts house sorting test - what it says on the lid, it sorts you into one of 4 Hogwarts houses from harry Potter universe. It's a fun thing to do if you're a fan. (Also, can someone fill this one out as Clint or Natasha? That would be fun).
4. The Golden Compass Daemon test - again, based on a book - Phillip Pullman's trilogy His Dark Materials - discover what kind of animal your daemon would be :)
Things to remember:
1) Always label NSFW (Not Safe For Work) stuff in the title and post under a cut.
2) Fic and artwork needs to have a rating and warnings (or you can say that you’ve chosen not to use warnings).
3) For people with annoying internet connections, say in the title if a comment is graphic/images/gif-heavy and post picspams under a cut.
4) Have a damn good time! (Because if that’s not happening then this post has clearly failed.)

An essay on Slytherin and why I like it.
There are few reasons, apart from the blatant traits that belong to the house - I am practical, I can compartmentalize, I can shut down my empathy when necessary to achieve a goal. I'm loyal (and passionate), I'm cunning and able to manipulate people (I do have a moral compass and I don't use these traits to harm others, but I do have them). Basically, one wouldn't want me for an enemy. Also, I can hold grudge for centuries, like most Slytherin characters in Harry Potter do, they passionately hold onto something that may not be the best thing for them - Snape comes to mind. he was so utterly loyal to his long dead love and that is both amazing and heart breaking and painful. I'm trying to say, someone from Slytherin has a big capacity to hurt themselves and stubbronly continue doing that for longest time. I have that trait. I try not to fall into that particular pit.
I think of Slytherins as tough outside and soft inside (see above), and while we appear badass and tough and scary, we can be pretty frightened and even insecure inside. What I really like, though, is the stubbornness and determination that helps a Slytherin come through and reach the goal (no matter how much it hurts, or how hard it is).
I liked being sorted here, it makes sense to me - I've always been a black sheep, and found that Slytherin has an awesome combination of traits that make us good fighters, loyal friends and scary and cunning opponents. I really really liked being sorted there, especially in that particular moment in my life - I am attached to my books and fictional things and (Wow, I wrote you an essay!)
Re: An essay on Slytherin and why I like it.
Snape is absolutely my favorite character in HP (and Loki's emerald green robes and cunning always remind me of Slytherin, one of my favorite characters from MCU)...but I scored very low in Slytherin on that test myself. So I guess I'm a fan but an outsider. ;) I think I am too "middle-of-the-road", easy-going to have the passion necessary of a Slytherin.
Re: An essay on Slytherin and why I like it.
I too love Snape, and what I love best about him is his unshakable, painful loyalty to Lily. That just hurts.
I think JKR realized she will have to make Slytherin a bit more appealing and less stereotypically "bad guy house" when bunch of kids were sorted into that house. let's face it, there are people with that combination of traits around, and we're not all evil.
