Okay, kids. So, the House quiz by Pohatu (http://www.quibblo.com/quiz/27rAA1E/The-Sorting-Exie-Bucket) is a solid, solid piece of work. The poetry is great, and the questions are well thought out and were very relevant at the time. However, there's a slight but noticable slant to it (Oddly enough, it seems that Oloysian has slanted against the traditional Ulaich, while things from Alryst tend to slant against the focused Vashval), and on top of that, a few of the issues on there are somewhat dated.
I'd like to propose creating a revised quiz, since I'm going to be doing something that should make the House system much more active in the next year of the Exodus. And, if possible, it'd be nice to take the democratic method. We'd all toss questions into this topic for the quiz, and then each Head (Or Neck, if a Head is not forthcoming) will pick five questions that they think have the most merit. We'd each take turns at this, starting with Oloysian, then going Vashval, Ulaich, Alryst (in order of membership.).
Then, we'd take those twenty questions, polish them up, and create a new quiz from that. I believe that'd be the fairest way of doing things, personally. What say the rest of you?

Sounds like an Ulaich to me.
I'm all for a revamp since I wasn't around when the houses were at their height though I'm not sure of how to revise the quiz.

I just took the quiz and got Oloysian. Should I be at all surprised, seeing how my brother is apparently the poster boy for the House?

It's been said before and it'll be said again: all the cool and attractive people are Olys.

IIRC, the only people who've ever taken that quiz and gotten results other than Oloysian or the House they already were in were Cendra and Luigilover. (Not certain. I forget what Black Cat got, and I don't remember if Lone actually took the quiz.) And I'm about 75% certain that they both were trying for specific Houses in the first place (Alryst and Ulaich, respectively.) So, our ideal quiz would be a bit more subtle, and as I said, would hopefully have input from all the houses. Because, well, as I said, this quiz is pretty close to saying on the Ulaich answers "I'm a doodyhead that'd rather eat dirt than cake because the dirt is older than the cake."

If you're free to choose does it really matter?

Mm. I suppose that is true. Kuroboom, good thinkin'.
Maybe we'd be best served just by having a paragraph in the first post for each house, so that people go in informed, rather than a quiz, which just sorta says "Yah, you're here.". Would everybody be up for cobbling together a one paragraph description of their House, something short and sweet? I wouldn't mind taking the lead on this one, if this idea is approved.

I suppose I could, but that strikes me as DL's job, since he's the Head of Ulaich.

Alryst: This house, the one of wind and life, is home to those that have free, wandering spirits. If you're an Alryst, you're extremely creative, optimistic, and outgoing. You're the type to dismiss your troubles with a simple "C'est la vie.", the type that considers rules to be suggestions and not guidelines. Sure, you might not be the most focused. But why worry?
There. A two minute example.
Good enough? Any fixes you'd make, El?

Ulaich: This house is so dull that we really can't be bothered to write a short summary.
Oloysian: We're too important and sexy to pen a paragraph about ourselves. Now, we're off to bone us some dudes chicks (dudes). Oloyloyloyloyloy!
Vashval: WE HAVE HORMONAL IMBALANCES. YOU HAD A QUESTION?
There, summaries, all done. I think we're ready for the new topic!
