I have messed around with this quiz so much and I am seriously wondering now if House Bolton is even an option within the results. House Frey is the closest I got... (supposedly THEY are the most ruthless and cunning, just because of 'The Red Wedding'? Ummm, I think that is not accurate...) Anyone else willing to give this a try? What GoT House in Westeros Are You? Please tell me what you answered in order to get 'Bolton' if you're successful! Since I actually think the way these quizzes are designed is bullshit, I will probably make one of my own once I finish reading the books. People make these things without taking the most imperative things into account. Psychology, House history, personal temperament, yes all of that is important... but I think in the cases of fantastical worlds and characters, they also don't seem to factor in that we live in the modern world that we do and that it's really hard to tell what you would be like and how you would react in Westeros if you haven't really grown up there. Sorry if anyone on here made this quiz, I'm not meaning to fling insults and I am actually talking about a lot of Game of Thrones quizzes I've taken, not just this one. Thank you ahead of time to all those willing to participate in my little experiment!  |

I got House Tyrell, and a couple of my friends got Baelish, but I don't know anyone that's a Bolton  |

Based on the banners on the first page of the quizz, I'm not sure you can be a Bolton. It wouldn't surprise me too much, since it's not one of the main or popular houses.
I got Lannister on my first run, I'm going to try and find Bolton now.

No matter what I do, I always get Targaryen. With some changes in my answers, I got Greyjoy. However, I doubt if there's Bolton at all in the quiz.

I think you are probably right, ironsalt (and I think others said as much too? My memory is so bad right now, sorry ^^; ). I think they didn't consider 'Bolton' worthy of being included, or certainly not desirable. Someone just needs to make a better, all-inclusive quiz. Ha ha! Why should we exclude any of the Houses we read about that have an active part in the main story? The answers to choose from all seemed to be limited anyhow, and not really allowing for much individuality for whoever might be taking the quiz. |

I got Tyrell (kinda fitting) but I think the answer options where a bit too shallow XD

I got Tyrell (kinda fitting) but I think the answer options where a bit too shallow XD I quite agree. There were not nearly enough options to begin with, and the ones there were asked questions that were useless, listing traits that could belong to any of the Houses, pretty much. A poorly organized thing, although it is good that people are interested enough to put in the effort. I look forward to the day that a Bolton decides to make good use of that kind of energy! |

Someone needs to remake or make an updated version of this quiz - with more answer choices & deeper studies on each houses - and of course, more houses for the quiz result Wish I knew how to do it lol |

I would love to make a quiz in the future but what I did really appreciate about the one that didn't work so well was that they figured out how to make some pretty artwork go with the results or something. I would want it to be *visually* engaging, as well. Not sure what to do about that. |

I hope you find time to do it.. and yes, visuals would be really cool! |

I hope you find time to do it.. and yes, visuals would be really cool! LOL, well... I don't know how to make it look AWESOME like the quiz makers on that site do... If they have a ready-made formatting tool for it, then I could probably add cool visuals just like everyone else. But I am familiar with a few other quiz-generating websites, and those are what I was thinking of, although I might look at that website again and see what options are available. If I consider making such a quiz then I have to at least be up-to-date with all of the books. It will still be a while before I get there. XD But I will keep the request in mind, and if others who read this happen to also want that, please do say so and I will be able to judge the demand for it, which will probably directly influence how much effort I'm willing to put into that on top of the fic-writing and other things I'm trying to keep up with. I don't want to over-commit, but this kind of thing could work out in the future, LOL. The possibility is... good.  |
