I really think the only one i wouldn't be suited for is dauntless..because I have a very low tolerance of pain.

I think I would be born into Candor but personally I would pick Erudite.

I just wouldn't choose anything, because I'd be afraid to cut my hand open. Maybe that means I belong in Amity?

Candor…I have always had and still have a problem with people who lie or tell stories.

Hmm at 16 I would have chosen Abnegation because of my religious upbringing. Now as an adult I would be torn between Dauntless and Erudite.

At the age of sixteen I would have chosen the faction of Erudite, probably from process of elimination. See because although I am brave for Dauntless, I don't really have the endurance to be running everywhere, or like Amity or Abnegation, I have a nice/selfless side but I could never, just stick there. For Candor, I believe that white lies are necessary in some friendships or any interaction. I also love knowledge and learning like the Erudite so it would be a nice fit for me.

I would have chosen Erudite I think, but maybe Amity would have suited me better.

I think I would have been born into Amity, because each member of my family tries to keep the peace no matter what situation they're in. At my Choosing Ceremony, I would have chosen to be a part of the Dauntless faction. I wouldn't be able to stand the slow lives of any of the other factions, though I do value some of the things that are important to the other factions. I feel like choosing something that determines how the rest of your life is going to be is no different than how life really is. In the real world, you only get two short years after sixteen to determine things like what you'll study in college, and, that affects the rest of your life. Choosing a faction isn't so different than that.

I think I would have been born into Erudite, since my mom worked as a librarian and even though my father doesn't read as much as the rest of us, he's great at strategy games and works with computers. When I was sixteen, I likely would have stayed with Erudite, but I've changed since then, and if I were sixteen now (but with my current knowledge of myself), I think I'd be caught between Erudite and Amity and choose the latter.

Based on my family and their high importance placed on faith and morality, I more likely than not would have been born in to Abnegation. We volunteer immensely in our community and always seek to help those who cannot help themselves. However, when it came time for me to choose my own faction, I believe I would choose Erudite. I have always been fascinated by learning and gaining new information. My curiosity can help and hinder me. Erudite becomes appealing to me in this sense. At 16 I was mature enough to make some decisions, but was not quite truly capable of making sound decisions just yet. But if I comprehended the gravity of my decision and how it was going to impact my entire future, I believe I would be able to make a sound decision.

I think i would have been born Erudite, but i would have chosen Dauntless. To be honest, I think i was to take the test, i would end up being dauntless, abnegation, candor and erudite, or something similar. But dauntless definitely seems to be the most inviting, for me!

16 year old me probably would have gone with Dauntless, but Erudite would have been a very close second! Erudite is probably more my lifestyle these days, though.

I would have chosen Dauntless. I'm too sarcastic for Abnegation. Amity would irritate me beyond belief. Candor and Erudite would be okay, but if I had to choose playing paintball and jumping out of trains over organic chemistry and always being honest... It wouldn't be hard to choose.

At 16 I was in great shape and would have chosen Dauntless. I was never still and loved archery and shooting...I'm a country girl. Now I would probably lean more towards a Erudite. However, if I were honest I would be proud to be a Divergent! Why, I ask myself? Because, I do not like label's at all they are confining and I think one "kind or group " should not have absolute control. I find there are times that it is necessary to be tempered with each of these attributes, but mostly it is important to know when to use each one of them.
