Geeking Out

My dear friend Zach Arneson came over to Harmon House yesterday to figure out what Hogwarts House he would be in.

We cross referenced key phrases and concepts from the original Sorting Hat songs as well as JK Rowling's descriptions of the houses from Pottermore.com. We THEN spiced things up with an MBTI analysis of each Hogwarts House. What were Zach's results after all the merriment and tomfoolery? Unfortunately, we ran out of time.

In case you were wondering, a nerd is someone who is passionate about learning/being smart/academia. A geek is someone who is passionate about some particular area or subject, often an obscure or difficult one. A dork is someone who has difficulty with common social expectations/interactions.

I am a nerd and a geek. As is Mr. Arneson.
