Ravenclaw

So yeah...

[Timelord Iain, Tech Support]

Sounds like you belong on Mayim's team... there were only 2 Slytherin signups I think... can't remember the other off the top of my head...

[Niki Hawkes, I made it past GOTM... barely]

Teams are not broken down by house. 😁

[Timelord Iain, Tech Support]

I know that... that became unrealistic almost immediately... Ravenclaw would probably be declared winner January 2nd...

[Niki Hawkes, I made it past GOTM... barely]

It would have been cool had worked out that way though.

Hey where'd you find this quiz, Sean? With the percentages and all?

[Niki Hawkes, I made it past GOTM... barely]

It's a link Anne-Marie provided a little ways up. I took it just for kicks:
R: 76%
H: 22%
S: 8%
G: 0%
lol. I took the Meyer Briggs test and used that to look up my house as well (the have a correlation sheet). I tested Ravenclaw on that one too. There are days when I feel like Slytherin is a good match for me, but the tests seem to indicate otherwise.

[Scott , Karsa Orlong]

80.8 Gryffindor
12 Ravenclaw
7.1 Hufflepuff
.1 Slytherin

So now you all know it's accurate.

But Myers Briggs puts me firmly in Ravenclaw.

[Tammie]

Here's mine:

Ravenclaw
57.7%
Hufflepuff
40.4%
Gryffindor
1.9%
Slytherin
0%

[Miche]

Mine:

Ravenclaw
47.8%
Hufflepuff
33.3%
Gryffindor
18.9%
Slytherin
0%

[Zaara]

Oh yeah, thanks Niki. And Anne-Marie.

Here's how well you fit into each House:

Ravenclaw
56%

Gryffindor
28.3%

Hufflepuff
12.7%

Slytherin
2.3%

Excellent more people for the challenge. :-)

Niki will have you signed up to a team before the challenge starts. Note she does work to make sure that people are added to teams evenly, so it can take a few weeks before you are assigned a team as she'll wait until there are a few sign ups to add them all at once.

Hey in the 25 comments is the introduction included too??

[Timelord Iain, Tech Support]

@Khushi: you can check your comments with Profile -> More of Khushi's groups... then you'll see a list of all the groups you are in and how many comments you've made in each group... on desktop browser, at least...

[[deleted user]]

@Iain thank you so much.

Thanks for your interest in the challenge! There's a 25 comment minimum to sign up, so we hope you stick around and have fun participating until you're eligible. Please let me know when you are.

Khushi - same for you, although it looks like you're already aware of that. :)

[Niki Hawkes, I made it past GOTM... barely]

I've updated the Q&A to sign up for the challenge to reflect our 25 comment minimum to make you eligible.

Thanks, ya'll. It's going to be a fun one. There are so many new people signing up, I might wait until mid-December to allocate all the newbies to the teams. If you've signed up within the last few weeks, you're submission is acknowledged and you will be included before the end of the year (if you have enough comments). :)

Thanks everyone who helped me. I am a bit new. 😓

You're welcome and no worries! The comment thing for this challenge has been confusing from the start. :)

Gotta keep working on my comment counter :)... nearly 1100 comments in 3 months... this is my most active group... overtook GG&G last week, I think... it's all the tangents...

Haha you going for the record (Scott's)? The tangents totally help.

[Scott , Karsa Orlong]

It's taken me since the group's inception to get this many comments. I have no delusions that the Iainbot will far surpass me in time.

[Timelord Iain, Tech Support]

I dunno, Scott... you got a handicap (if I'm using the golf term correctly)... you get to make all these free posts creating Buddy Read threads and the like... if the Welcome thread is anything to go by, the group is only a year and a half old... I'm not commenting that much faster than you are...

[Chris]

Keep in mind that Scott averages about 1 book completed per comment.

I'm just going to copy and past what I wrote above. The challenge doesn't start until 2018: There are so many new people signing up, I might wait until mid/end of December to allocate all the newbies to the teams. If you've signed up within the last few weeks, you're submission is acknowledged and you will be included before the end of the year (if you have enough comments). :)

I'm excited to start too!
