You seem very nice, really.. but the questions that are most important for me -- House descriptions (which seemed to just write out the stereotypes and not invest any personal take on 'em), rolemodel, animagus and patronus were all too short.
And again I will note: shortness can be okay, if it's short and to the point. But your points were not really explained. So for now I'll be saying: Squib.

Just a question to improve my answers: what else am I supposed to say? I left this in a word document for a long time, but I didn't really know what else I was supposed to talk about.

I don't know if there's anything specific I can point to and be like "ah haha! Here is the perfect example!" But.. like I said the House descriptions were just a restating of the stereotypes in the book -- and I understand that completely. It's hard to NOT let that overwhelm you, since it's all you have to go on, yanno? So if you wanted to stick with that angle I'd say expand on it with humorous examples from the books. Like, ah..
"The daring, bold, more reckless students. Just look at the idiocy of Sirius Black! He's clearly a perfect example of Gryffindor with him immature recklessness (from the genius of my house mate)! He's ruled by his emotions, not by logic -- his chasing after Harry's train in dog form, and his constant whining and pouting about having to hide out clearly illustrate that Gryffindor recklessness! Fools!"
o.O
Or you can just wax poetic about what you think the stereotypes are hiding, and provide examples of characters or whatnot that defy the stereotypes.
As far as the rest, I'd say maybe.. why do

My dear, your answers are a bit... empty. I have absolutely no idea where to sort you. You seem to be all over the place.
I don't really have a specific reason for choosing the fox, I guess I've just always admired them. *shrug* Maybe I'd like to be an owl, owls are symbols of wisdom
Do you see my point? You need to find an animal that represents you. So we have an idea of who you are and where you would fit best. We're not trying to hurt you, or pull you down. I got almost squibbed myself and I can see why now that I am sorting myself. We're a bit... protective of our community. We like everyone to go where they belong so the community stays strong and won't turn into those other communites that have over 10000 members but no posts. Alright. *pets* Try again.
Alright, thanks. As I said to visceralvamp, I just can't really think of an animal like me. I've never had a favorite one, I don't particuarly like them...I just don't really know alot of animals. *shrug* That's why I had to guess.
I dunno what to say. I mean I know you're trying but the best answer vive-wise in you're application to me seems to be the one about you're role model...I mean...*rereads* I mean it's like what bukyou said, there isn't one point where it's terrible or anything. I just can't get a vibe from you. I guess you should just elaborate more next time. I'm sorry but Squib
