Where did anyone get the idea that personality and gender are in ANY 
WAY related?  Are you using this test to confirm your 
gender/orientation or something?  I would rant for a minute about 
gender stereotypes and the evils of a society that wants to 
pigeonhole people according to their chromosomal make-up, but I'll 
restrict myself to the topic of the personality test.

I usually get the Trio for my top three:  Harry, Hermione, then 
Ron.  I usually get Sirius, Voldemort, and the Weasley twins for my 
bottom three.  I'm still convinced Harry comes out on top for me 
because I wear glasses, which are very important to me, and the 
silly people who made up the test are confusing one's need to wear 
corrective lenses with personality, but if I go on about that, this 
will turn into a rant after all...
