The book sounds similar to a "Which ________ are you?" quiz on social media. But it's more fun and more complete. And it has 100 percent fewer grammar and spelling mistakes!The Divergent series' fans will really enjoy this entertaining look at the motivations of Abnegation, Condor, Amity, Dauntless and Erudite. Just like sorting yourself into a Harry Potter house, this is a neat way for fans to dive into the stories. Beyond the sorting, it can also start up deep discussion about the characterizations of everyone in the books. (Joe Crowe, http://www.revolutionsf.com, http://www.twitter.com/revolutionsf )
I really liked the concept behind this book, but I think it has one fatal flaw. I don't think their system for tallying up the quiz answers was really accurate. I got Dauntless, which didn't feel right to me at all, but that was how the math worked out on their system. They put a specific answer that is supposed to be the "Divergent" answer with each question, and that seemed odd to me.It was fun to play with this, and I hope my students (for whom I really bought this) enjoy it, but I wouldn't recommend it if you're looking for an accurate answer.EDIT: After writing this, I had a student take it, and her answers all seemed to follow the same pattern, and thus her result made sense. I decided then to go back and more closely analyze my results. Basically, all the 2s represent Abnegation, 4s represent Amity, 6s Candor, 8s Dauntless, 10s Erudite, and 12s Divergent. I tallied the number of answers I got for each category. I had 12 Amity answers, 12 Erudite answers, and 10 Candor answers. Basically I'm Divergent. This method made MUCH more sense to me!
The kids love this book and its fun to see where you end up st. But it takes a long time to answer all the questions and score them so they needed an adult to help
It is an interesting book but be warned it assumes gender with many of the questions.
