If you're still accepting sorting surveys... My first attempt: (1) Remembered? Achievements (2) Boxes? Merlin (3) Rather Be? Trusted (4) Subject? Everything (5) Noise? Withdraw (6) Dusk (7) Black Result: Slytherin • Second attempt, rerolled because I dislike Slytherin: (1) Potion? Wisdom (2) Scent? Parchment (3) Hardest? Ignored (4) Creature? Ghosts (5) Muggle? Ask Why (6) Forest (7) Left Result: Ravenclaw • Thanks for putting this together; I'm fascinated by seeing what makes things tick too.
Definitely accepting surveys!
Your first Sorting went Slyth over Claw largely on the weight of dusk/black - I'm confident that either dawn or white would have made it a Claw Sorting (or at the very least a Hatstall, but probably a Claw Sorting outright.)
The first Sorting isn't the best Slyth Sorting anyway (especially if you're between Slyth and Claw) because of the presence of Merlin's box, which is chosen as the #1 answer by Claws and Slyths alike, but only gives Slyth points; also, trusted is the #1 answer in every House (and is actually chosen by more Claws than Puffs or Gryffs when it's a Huffledor answer. Ravenclaw has HORRIBLE answers on that question, both in terms of 'nobody picks them' and 'Ravenclaws don't pick the Ravenclaw answers.')
Anyway, Sorting 1 is 1, 4, 5 Claw vs. 2, (4), (6), 7 Slyth (vs. 3, 6 Puff vs (3), (7) Gryff.) You can see where black/white or dawn/dusk literally decided the Sorting there - flipping either of those turns that Claw outright.
Sorting 2 is much more Claw: 1, 2, (3), (4), 5, (6), 7 Claw - literally EVERY ANSWER has a Ravenclaw weight! (And this is more Claw than it looks, as ghosts is the #1 Claw answer in practice but not the #1 Gryff answer in practice - ghosts would be Ravenpuff if we went by popularity and not PM point assignment!) Second place is Gryff with 4, 6; third is Slyth with 3, (7). There's zero Puff here. But, seriously, that second Sorting is as about as Claw as it gets. (It's also a much fairer question set overall: 2, 3, 6, and 7 are the fairest questions possible there; 5 is the second-fairest question. Only 1 and 4 aren't good.) This is actually a case where I'd say the second Sorting is much more indicative of your House than the first (which is a good thing, I suppose, since you dislike Slytherin.)
