For those who are interested in personality and temperament sorting, I 
found a cool site that equates the four Houses to the Keirsey 
temperaments.  There is quite a bit of discussion elsewhere on the 
site of the four temperaments as they apply to the various roles 
people fill throughout their lives, such as child, spouse, parent, 
teacher, etc.
