Faction card said Candor, but I'd definitely do the best in Erudite.

I'm definitely not in Abnegation, but I have a lot of respect for anyone who is. I mean, they've devoted their entire lives to helping other people! If that makes them happy then they might be a bit weird to us, but what would we do without people like that? Selflessness and bravery are very similar. I wish I could be more like that...

I think the core virtues of selflessness and bravery are very similar - think Harry Potter and Percy Jackson, and think of how Percy and Harry would both do anything for their loved ones, but are recognized as being very brave.
However, in the Divergent world, Abnegation is dedicated to material selflessness - giving up everything that is good and brings joy, and Dauntless is dedicated to intrepidness, like tests of bravery to determine how well you'd perform in hypothetical situations. I think the "selflessness and bravery aren't all that different" quote is overplayed. Giving up joy and being required to do something life-threatening every day are very different. And I think that's the fault in the society we see so much of in Divergent. It' fascinating.

I think it's really funny how Erudite and Dauntless should line up perfectly with Ravenclaw and Gryffindor... but they don't. Dauntless members are even stupider than Gryffindors XD XD. But then again, I'm Erudite and Ravenclaw myself soo..... :Shrug:

I don't think that Gryffindors or Dauntless are stupid necessarily. I think it's about what you want to do with the information you have: act on it or ignore it the face of something more important. I think Dauntless' version of selflessness is doing something for someone regardless of whether it harms themselves physically. Like saving someone else's life would keep them alive at the expense of yours. But I don't think Dauntless does material or emotional/mental selflessness. Do you think that all of the abnegation would die for someone else? Like Marcus for example?

Hi all I'm new here, anyways... I've taken online test and they told me I was Dauntless, but I believe I'm in Amity. With my second as Candor. I definitely remind my friends as Christina, but for some reason I know I could do great in the peaceful.

Well, it depends. If someone insulted you, or something you believe in very strongly, would you just sit ther?. I'm kind of swinging between Erudite and Dauntless, so I feel like the Amity would let everyone walk all over them. Maybe you're braver than you think you are. But it doesn't matter- it's about who you choose to be, not necessarily who you are.

That is why I think Candor is my second best, because I WOULDN'T take crap from anyone. But, I believe if I tried hard enough, I could be cool, calm and collect.
I mean, I would LOVE to be in Dauntless, but I'm not fit enough for that. I have the bravery, but not the strength... if that makes sense?

When I first started reading, I thought I would like Erudite the best. But I'm just too fun-loving. I love challenging myself and feeling that adrenaline rush. So I'm Dauntless, through and through.

Dauntless is badass but I'm sorry, Erudite all the way. And you guys can't say all erudite is evil. Peter was Dauntless, Marcus was Abnegation. There can be bad people in every faction.

I would love to be in Dauntless but, in reality, I would do best in Amity or Abnegation because I am not smart enough, Im not honest enough and Im too chicken to jump off or onto a moving train

I would be an Erudite-born, Divergent, Dauntless-transfer. Or at least I think I would.
