I think my family would be Erudite and I would be expected to follow based on my intellect. However, at the core of my being I seek peace so I would choose Amity in my heart. I don't know if I would have the strength to go against my family at age 16 though.

At 16, I am quite sure I would have chosen Dauntless. However as an adult, I associate more with Erudite. This makes me wonder how successful a faction system based on character would be, especially as teenagers are often not the character they become as an adult. Unexpected experiences in their life may alter a character dramatically, and there's no way of changing faction!

I would likely have been born into Candor because my family really values telling the truth. I would have chosen Erudite though.

Both my friends and I agree that I would be dauntless. Either by birth or chosen, I do believe that to be my faction. I am very brave and a daredevil, always taking risks and doing dangerous things just for the thrill. I do, however, think that choosing at 16 seems to be cutting it kind of close. I mean, you would be choosing where it is your life is going and you can’t take it back, allow while trying to find out if David likes you or not.

I think Erudite has always suited me, growing up and now. I love reading and learning new things.

When I was 16 I probably would have chosen Erudite. At that age school was the most important thing to me and seemed like such a big deal. If I were to have to pick now, I am not sure what I would have chose because each faction offers different benefits. As the books have taught us we don't have to be just one thing so I would probably end up being factionless.

My family would have been Candor... I would have chosen Amity. while my family centres on strict principles and morals, I am a free-spirited girl who can care less. I hate limitations. so dauntless would be fine too. I am short and my physical condition might not suit for Dauntless. but my will is strong. so, either Dauntless or Amity.

I was born into an Amity-type family, concerned about image, kindness, forgiveness, and peace for the sake of avoiding conflict. I did what was expected of me, so at 16 I might have dreamed of being Dauntless but remain in Amity. At heart though, I fit as an Erudite who loves education and growing in knowledge. At age 40 I would have wanted to change factions and follow my heart instead of doing what was expected.

I think I would be divergent , but will choose erudite, because I would be a good fit there.

Most definitely Erudite!

I was in the military when I was 16, (no, I didn't mean military school) and I found the most insufferable part of that experience being loneliness. I was the only one who read anything except for letters. I thirsted and hungered for intelligent conversation, a fellow geek, a nerd, anything! So at that age, I would definitely have been born Amity and converted to Erudite.

Either Erudite or Abnegation- I'm not particularly honest, brave or peaceful. I'd honestly be really nervous about choosing my future and possibly leaving my family at 16, but I would use my test results to find out which faction to choose. If I was divergent, I would choose whichever I thought would have the easiest initiation (Gosh, I sound like an Erudite, don't I?!).

I think I would choose Abnegation. It seems like it would be a good fit for me.

I likely would have been born into Amity and would have likely chosen to remain in the community of Amity!

I’ve always identified with Dauntless. All of the factions were corrupt, I think, but there’s something inherently appealing about the Dauntless faction. As an ideal, their purpose is not to live without fear, but to live without being hindered by fear. Experiencing fear and succumbing to it are two very different things, I think. As someone who’s experienced a lot of fear and traumatic situations in my life, learning to live with fear has been intrinsic to my growth as a person. Also, jumping off a building into a giant trampoline net thing sounds pretty dope.

At age 16 I definitely would not have fitted in with Candor! I think Dauntless would’ve intrigued me, but I probably wouldn’t have chosen it because I was rather reserved back then. I’m pretty sure I would’ve gone with Amity; I have always valued the earth and living a natural lifestyle.
