Re: What faction would you have chosen at 16?
I could see myself thriving in Erudite as well, though, because I'm really quite a nerd and I love learning. It's the Erudite's solely analytical and logical thinking that kind of puts me off. I take action on instinct a lot more than I do on thinking, strategy and analysis.

I'm not sure I would have chosen a faction. I think I would have approached it by process of elimination.
* I am not selfless enough to be Abnegation.
* I am not brave and fearless enough to be Dauntless.
* I am not honest enough to be Candor.
* I am not peaceful enough to be Amnity.
* Given my 'lack' of higher education, I am not Erudite.
After all the debating, I think I would have elected to stay with the faction I was born into: Erudite. Although I am not as educated as the rest of my family, I have always dreamed of returning to school.
To a degree, I think we are already compelled to make a decision that will determine our life’s course at the age of sixteen. I remember looking through the various post-secondary options in high school at 16-17 years old and feeling woefully under-prepared for choosing a path for higher education, and ultimately my profession. The saving grace is that we have the opportunity to change our mind and pursue another path if we choose.

I think we already make decisions at 16 that determine our life course, I mean generally we have to choose what courses to take in school so we have to have an idea of what career we want. But of course the decisions we make are not as huge as choosing a faction.
