what faction are you?


all done with Divergent and Insurgent but still can't move on with it. :) i'm pretty sure most if not all who read this books asked themselves what faction they can belong.

here are the 5 factions:
Candor - the faction that value honesty
Dauntless - the faction who tests their bravery by attempting death defying feats
Erudite - the faction who live their lives in the pursuit of knowledge
Amity - the faction who values peace above all else
Abnegation - the faction that values selflessness in the service of others

so, where do you belong? me? honestly? let's see...

just like Tris said in the book, "i cannot be a Candor. i lie to easily." and so am i. i mean, Candor is willing to reveal everything as in every secrets they have in front of everybody just to prove honesty. and i don't think i can do and maintain that.

i can't be Dauntless. i'm not as brave as they are. terrified in heights and i'm too weak to hurt other people. i want to quote what Veronica Roth said in one of her interviews. she said, "Like in the zip line scene -- even if you paid me billions of dollars, i would never do what Tris does in that scene. I don't think i'm a coward, but i don't like to take unnecessary risks." and i agree with her wholeheartedly.

Erudite. nope. i am not the type of person that's so curious in almost anything and everything. i love to read books. fiction books not mind-blowing books like encyclopedias, history, math, physics books.

Amity. i am peaceful. who loves arguments? isn't it peace is a great thing? i can fit here. what i don't like though in this faction is, they sound so pathetic. always neutral. doesn't want to involve themselves just to maintain peace.

ok, i think i can fit in Abnegation. but can i really? always thinking about other people's welfare to the point of ignoring your own. but with that kind of initiation, yeah, i think i can survive this one.

but then, i am thankful that we are living in a world where we can be members of this 5 factions in any given time and situation. no initiation. no need to prove yourself.
