I like that Sorting Hat site, too, even tho' it keeps trying to put 
me in Gryffindor when I am a Ravenclaw through-and-through. It seems 
to think that anyone with any awareness of ethics at all is a 
Gryffindor, even a person too cowardly to ACT on ethics. I wish I 
understood the meaning of the questions better, so a couple of years 
ago I wrote them all down; I'll copy&paste them here and hope that 
Yahoo's mail-handler doesn't destroy the tabs:

I have a LOT of personal comments on it, but will put just one in this 
post:
"I prefer: 1) classic elegance 	2) trendy fashion"
Suppose I don't like either, but do like classic slobbiness or 
extravagant eccentricity?
