So I've been reading a lot in the Divergent series lately, and I'm absolutely loving it. I zipped through the first book and I'm on my way to the second one. And if you've also read it, or at least seen the movie, then you would know that there are five different factions that the city is divided into: Amity, Abnegation, Dauntless, Candor, and Erudite.
Amity is the faction dedicated to peacefulness, kindness, friendship, and forgiveness. They believe in love, not war, and their faction is truly democratic, voting on everything they do. They will often lie to avoid confrontation and their bread is embedded with peace serum, preventing Amity members from fighting. Their attire consists of red and yellow and their substance in the Choosing Ceremony is soil.
Abnegation is the faction dedicated to selflessness and simplicity, always putting others before themselves. Initiates are forced to reject a life of vanity and self-indulgence, protecting themselves from a selfish life of greed and envy. Mirrors, gossiping, and buying luxury items are strictly forbidden. Their attire consists of gray and their substance in the Choosing Ceremony is stone.
Dauntless is the faction dedicated to bravery, courage, and fearlessness. The members are thrill-seeking warriors, lethally strong and practically immune to threats. During initiation, potential members go through harsh physical training and fear simulations, a mental task designed to prepare people to overcome their worst fears. The Dauntless attire consists of black, tattoos are a staple, and their substance in the Choosing Ceremony is coal.
Candor is the faction dedicated to honesty and trust, believing that honesty and openness is the key to a more peaceful society. They believe in fairness and are always seeking the truth, a trait that makes them brutally blunt and able to read body language to detect lies. Their attire consists of black and white and their substance in the Choosing Ceremony is glass.
Erudite is the faction dedicated to astuteness, curiosity, and intelligence. They are in constant pursuit of knowledge and they can be found with a book in hand at any given moment. They’re power-hungry and thirsty for authority, often sacrificing themselves into moral corruption. Their attire consists of blue, glasses (no matter how perfect their vision), and their substance in the Choosing Ceremony is water.
Now that you know some about each of the factions, it's your turn to decide: Which Faction do you belong in? I'd love to know your answers, and if you answer Divergent (a mix of two or three of the factions) please specify which factions you think you would classify yourself as. If you want to take a quiz to find out what you are, here's the link (http://divergentthemovie.com/aptitudetest).
As for me, I've taken several quizzes and I always turn out as Dauntless or Amity, so I'm probably Divergent, a mix of the two.
G'day!
