Iggy here:

To be honest, when I look at the personality for that "Iggy" side of me, I
can easily see him in Hufflepuff when I think about the qualities of that
House.  He's loyal, steadfast,and clever, but he tends to use his wits to
try and make others feel better rather than for his own ends (like
Slytherin) to show how clever he is (like I imagine Ravenclaws do at times)
or to save people in grand ways... (a la Hermione as a Gryffindor).  He's
probably one of the most silly and humorous of the Hufflepuff legacy, but I
can see Professor Sprout actually helping him explore that aspect of himself
and the desire to bring happiness to others.

As for my overall view, I can see things being the same as with "Iggy", but
I also look at the fact that a lot of times (to be honest) I do take some
pride in being clever and innovative for the sake of being clever and
innovative.  I also tend to ask "Why?", "How?" and "Why not?" a lot of the
times.  I am inquisitive and pretty information oriented a lot of the
times.... so I would think that would put me in Ravenclaw.

On the other hand... (this is, what, the third hand?)  I also recognize
that, especially with my severe anxiety and panic attacks, I have been
pretty brave on a regular basis.  The fact that I'm bound and determined not
to let this problem beat me down, I go out and do stuff, I left everything I
knew to move to Alabama and be with the woman who is now my wife, and I keep
plodding along despite all the fears, I kinda think that Gryffindor would
suit me.


There's where your theory of choice by the student starts to fall apart.
I'd like to think I'm brave enough for Gryffindor, I am probably intelligent
and clever enough for Ravenclaw, and I would fit in well with Hufflepuffs.


If *I* was the one who had to chose... I think I'd start my own house...
