I am Team Dauntless. I mean, I just am. I'm a little rough at times and always looking for a challenge. Thanks for the giveaway!=D
ReplyDeleteWell I don't really think I fit in to any of them completely, I would say my best option is Candor.
ReplyDeleteLoooved Divergent and can't wait for its sequel!! I want to be Dauntless to meet Tobias:P
ReplyDeleteI am definitely in Amity!
ReplyDeleteI'd probably be Erudite:)
ReplyDeleteI am definitely in Amity! This faction focuses on peacekeeping, harmony, and farming:
ReplyDeleteand boy can I farm!.
Oh! I feel so left out cause I still haven't read divergent yet! Really need to get round to this one soon!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great way to build up the Insurgent release!!!! I'm loving it!
ReplyDeleteOh, I should have said as well, I think I would be either Eurdite (based on my parents, they are smart!) but would probably transfer to Dauntless, cos I'm a bit wild like that!
ReplyDeleteI'd probably be Erudite! I'd love to be in Candor but somehow I don't think that would happen!
ReplyDeleteAjoop @ on books!
I think I'd be in Candor since I value honesty above everything else. I'm also too lazy for Erudite :P
ReplyDeleteI would be Erudite just because I love to read and learn new things :)
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot for the giveaway!
Oh, I don't know! I haven't read the book yet!
ReplyDeleteI have no idea since i haven't read the first one yet. I own it, i just haven't gotten to it just yet lol. But i think maybe i would go with Amity, because i am a very peaceful person. I do not like conflict at all lol.
ReplyDeleteErudite. I took the quiz on the Facebook page and got that and Dauntless too. But I'm more Erudite. :D
ReplyDeleteI haven't read Divergent yet, so I don't know! Thanks for the awesome giveaway!!
ReplyDeleteAwesome giveaway! Can't wait for this book to come out!
ReplyDeleteI'd probably be Erudite normally, but I like Amity a lot too.
ReplyDeleteI would be Erudite, but also Amity
ReplyDeleteI would fit best in Dauntless, because I have had this urge to jump out of a plane for as long as I can remember. I like the rush.
ReplyDeleteI would be Dauntless. Because ever since reading DIvergent, every time I'm on the L, I kinda want to jump from it. lol
ReplyDeleteI'm actually pretty sure I would be Amity.
ReplyDeleteI think I would be Amity (for their counseling and care taking qualities) hate the colors though egh :P. Or I would be Erudite (I feel like an eternal student thirsting for knowledge).
ReplyDeleteI've been Erudite all my life. My high school math teacher said so, like it was a bad thing. I guess I wanted to read more than I wanted to learn math.
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure I'd be Erudite. Thanks for the giveaway!!
ReplyDeleteI would be candor. I am a firm believer in honesty no matter the cost. :')
ReplyDeleteI'm Divergent, obviously. :D I'm like, half Amity and half Erudite, I guess.
ReplyDeleteHmmmm, I think I'd have to be Divergent only because I just can't ever make up my mind about anything!!
ReplyDeletei don't know either erudite because i like to study or amity because friendshipt is capital for me
ReplyDeleteI definitely want to read Insurgent. And I mean who doesn't want to be Divergent. Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI'm not really sure which faction i'm more like yet! Thanks for the giveaway though.

I was probably born Dauntless, and I think I would choose Erudite or Amity. Thank you for this giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI follow Four's philosophy - all of them. I'd probably fit into Abnegation (*gasp*) the best though.
ReplyDeleteThis is one of my most anticipated reads of 2012. :D
ReplyDeleteChoosing is so hard- Four had the right idea. But if I had to be in one, it would probably be Erudite.
ReplyDeleteI am definitely Dauntless! :))
ReplyDeleteErudite, because I'm a big nerd!
ReplyDeleteI think candor because I'm a strong believer in things and am very honest about them
ReplyDeleteAmazing giveaway! Thanks!!!
ReplyDeleteI would be Amity! I really care about people and want to help, it is my ambition to become a therapist.
ReplyDeleteI would want myself to be Abnegation, but I'd probably go Erudite.
ReplyDeleteI think I'll fit in Amity Faction. You know that I wanna be in Dauntless (because of FOUR) but then I might end up factionless (which is worst). With my upbringing, probably Amity is the best choice for me, I think... hehe
ReplyDeleteThank you Kristin! I'm glad you're Team Amity. Anyway, I will support you whatever teams you are in. Even if it's Erudite! hehe.
Love and hugs,
April
I think Erudite because I like to read and learn so much. Definitely not Dauntless...
ReplyDeleteI am more Dauntless.
ReplyDeleteI am probably...Candor or Erudite!
ReplyDeleteawesome giveaway! Thanks so much!
ReplyDeleteUmmm... I'd probably be erudite cuz I'm very bookish :)
Great giveaway! I think I could be Candor or Erudite! :0)
ReplyDeleteThanks!
Leanne
Started reading Divergent yesterday, finished it today! Team Amity!!
ReplyDeleteErudite - thinker
ReplyDeleteThat's a little hard to say. I'm not quite brave enough to be Dauntless and although I try to be selfless, I can't really put myself in Team Abnegation. I tell little white lies all the time so I'm definitely not Team Candor. The Facebook quiz put me in Dauntless and I can be brave, but I'm afraid of so many things. I think Amity fits me best. And red and yellow just happen to be my school's colors so now I have 2 reasons to wear those colors!
ReplyDeleteperhaps Erudite?
ReplyDeleteI'd have to be Erudite... I'm far too much of a thinker to go straight Amity. But I'm pulling for you ladies!
ReplyDeleteI would probably be Erudite. I like to learn and teach
ReplyDeleteI know it may sound contradictory, but I'd be Amity or Dauntless.
ReplyDeleteI would like to be Dauntless :) I don't really do reckless things, but I would like to meet Four =) I love him so much! :)
ReplyDeleteI would love to be Dauntless... probably because it seems themost fun lol!
ReplyDeleteRock on TEAM AMITY!! <3
ReplyDeleteI'd be Amity! I desire peace, I hate confrontation, and wish people would try to understand each other more before just jumping into fights. I truly think that if people could be more understanding of others we would have less hatred in the world.
ReplyDeletePeace every one needs it less wars and less hunger.
ReplyDeleteI'd probably be an Amity, but choose Dauntless. I feel like I truly value the ideals of what the old Dauntless originally stood for, before little toerags like Eric came along.
ReplyDeleteTeam Amity all the way!!! :))
ReplyDeleteErudite.
ReplyDeleteI would be either Erudite or Dauntless. I don't really know. I think it would be easier to make the decision when living in the world that Ms. Roth created. It's hard to know when I haven't been in the situation.
ReplyDeleteTeam Amity because you seem friendly.
ReplyDeleteProbably Amity or Erudite. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm Team AMITY and ERUDITE. I guess that's where I fit the most but I would totally love to be DAUNTLESS. I'm all about peace and I avoid confrontations as much as possible. DAUNTLESS seems fun though :D... And my final pick is Amity and Erudite.
ReplyDeleteI took the quiz and it said I fit in with Candor Faction..but really I think I would be in danger of being factionless bc I think I fit in Amity and Abnegation too
ReplyDeleteI think I would actually be divergent, and not one specific faction. Thanks for the giveaway! :)
ReplyDeleteErudite, I think. I read a lot of books. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway!
I think I'd be in Abnegation, I help a lot of people out! And am not afraid to be selfless.:D THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE GIVEAWAY!!!
ReplyDeleteI think I would be Abnegation. I find doing stuff for others and for the common good to be the closest to my own personality.
ReplyDeletei am quiet divergent lol
ReplyDeletei have no idea which fraction is right for me...
A little of all of them, I believe. I love doing things for others and helping out in any way that I possibly can: Abnegation. I love to read, my nose is always in a book if I can help it: Erudite. I like to keep the peace: Amity. Honesty is the BEST policy!: Candor And being brave is a quality that I fight for daily: Dauntless. So, there you have it! Thanks so much for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI think I might be Amity or Abnegation, but honestly everyone has a little bit of all in them,
ReplyDeleteErudite, definitely :)
ReplyDeleteabnegation :)
ReplyDeleteWell, Amity or Erudite.....I'm kind of a half/half!
ReplyDeleteWhat faction do you think you would best fit in and why?
ReplyDeleteI would hope to be Divergent because I would like to have all these qualities in my life, but I think I would probably be torn between Dauntless and Erudite... Amity is a pretty close 3rd though. I don't think I could cut it as a Candor or Abnegation. I lie too much and I definitely think about myself before others.
I think I'd fit in Erudite
ReplyDeleteDauntless i'm most defiantly an adrenalin junkie :)
ReplyDeleteI like amity, but i think i would fit better in dauntless
ReplyDeleteI have to admit I have not read Divergent, although it has been on my wishlist for a while, so I get a little confused about the teams LOL From what I have read I think I am leaning towards Dauntless :)
ReplyDeleteI honestly think my personality is Amity. I'm certainly brave or risk-takery enough to be Dauntless. I love to read and learn new things, but I don't exactly enjoy the pursuit of knowledge for Erudite. I have my selfless moments, but I like to stand out somewhat and am admittedly probably pretty selfish to Abnegation is out. Then there's Candor, and let's just say I'm not always all about the truth :P
ReplyDeleteI'm not really of any faction. I can be a little violent (if I get mad) so not amity, however, i'm not that brave so not dauntless either. As for Candor, I try to be truthful as much as I can, but that's not always possible. I do have quite a number of selfless moments, but again, not enough. I do like reading and learning new stuff so I guess I would match Erudite the best, despite me not always pursuing new knowledge. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm torn between Abnegation and Amity, but I haven't even read Divergent yet so I'm not sure of anything.
ReplyDeleteI have Amity in me, but I can't deny I have bits of Dauntless and Erudite as well. I think, in the end, I would choose Erudite. I fit into that more. :D
ReplyDeleteI have Amity in me, but I can't deny I have bits of Dauntless and Erudite as well.Knowing myself I would probably choose Amity as I have more traits that are geared towards that faction.
ReplyDeleteI'm kind of halfway between Amity and Erudite, but I think for the Choosing Ceremony I would still choose Amity since I think my personality best matches theirs
ReplyDeleteHmm, I'm a tie between Amity, Erudite and Abnegation because I don't like drama or any issues, I'm smarter than the average person and I don't think of myself too often, usually the wants of others.
ReplyDeletehmm... i would be a divergent for sure. Either Erudite, Amity, or Abnegation. dang LOL
ReplyDeleteDauntless. I think I would grow more in that faction.
ReplyDeletehmmm... maybe erudite, but i would love to join dauntless
ReplyDeleteI hope to see more of the Amity group in Insurgent. They weren't featured much in Divergent and I'm eager to see more aspects of all the factions.
ReplyDeleteI think amity or dauntless :)
ReplyDeleteI'd be a Divergent, i'm always like all over the place with my feelings and everything :))

Read Into Hiding
I know I am Team Amity for the promo, but I'm not so sure my personality really fits Amity's faction. What faction do you think you would best fit in and why?
ReplyDeleteI think Amity fits me pretty well. Not only can I completely pull off the color yellow, but I've found my self to be a peaceful type person. I don't like conflict and I seem to find harmony and balance or at least compromise very easily.
I think I would be Erudite because I highly value lifelong learning, education, and intelligence.
ReplyDeleteI'd probably be Erudite. I love reading and I have this constant thirst for knowledge.
ReplyDeleteI think I'd be in Amity... Several tests have told me that! ahah but my love for reading would make me think I'd be in Erudite
ReplyDeleteI'm definitely Divergent, although for promotion's sake (like you) I'm #TeamAmity. I'm a thorough mix of Amity and Erudite. I'm not Dauntless, because although I'm fierce, I am not without fear. I'm not Abnegation, because I have not learned the art of selflessness. And I'm not Candor, because I have lied, even if only when necessary (or is that an excuse? see, no way I'd get into Abnegation!) lol :P
ReplyDeleteBut if I really HAD to pick between even Amity and Erudite, I'd pick Amity, because I truly believe myself to be a pacifist, and do not think learning and growing as a person can occur without some semblance of Peace. :)
I'm totally Team Amity!
ReplyDeleteI am Team Erudite. I am a librarian, computer scientist and have been reading books since age 4 :-) Just can't get enough of that information! Am pretty sure I grew up in Abnegation tho so that's a bit of a background influence.
ReplyDeleteI'm definitely Amity, i'm a peaceful person.
ReplyDeleteIm definitely and Amity
ReplyDeleteI think Im a peaceful person...
ReplyDeleteI think I could be Dauntless, the others aren't really me
ReplyDeleteI think I would actually fit better with Dauntless, but maybe Erudite (without all of the evilness)
ReplyDeleteDauntless seems the most fun, but I would probably be Erudite. I could be Candor, but I'm not BLATANTLY honest like they would be, so I'd be Erudite. I love graduate school and I love reading.
ReplyDeleteLove this contest :) I'm giving away books on my blog in honor of #TeamAmity too!
