Hufflepuff - 14
Ravenclaw - 12
Gryffindor - 9
Slytherin - 8
Guess I was a Hufflepuff after all!
I had no idea what to say for half of those questions, so I just picked whatever sounded closest. Like with the 'strong man demands food' one, I would politely tell him no, but I wouldn't punch him :/
EDIT: Dannichu's quiz-
Gryffindor - 6
Hufflepuff - 6 (wtf is with those water polo questions)
Ravenclaw - 8
Slytherin - 3
Ok now I'm even more confused on what I should be. I might as well split myself in half and be in both Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw |D

Tragically unbeyachted.

HUFFLEPUFF:

Slytherin (12, Ravenclaw 9, Hufflepuff 9, Gryffindor 8) according to that earlier quiz.
Alternately:
Gryffindor - 5
Hufflepuff - 3
Ravenclaw - 6
Slytherin - 9!!!!
I always thought I was a Slytherin with Ravenclaw leanings, but it turns out that I'm quite decisively a Slytherin.

FEELING GREAT, FEELING GOOD, HOW ARE YOU?
I like how these quizzes make out Slytherin to be for stereotypical goth kids or something, despite the fact that none of the Slytherins in the book remotely fit that description. (well except for maybe young Snape)
Clearly in real life Slytherin would be the "bro house". Not caring about rules + having rich parents that let them get their way + being total assholes = total bros. I can imagine so much drinking/drugs/sex/broing it up going down in the dungeons. Feel like it would be pretty chill to be in Slytherin but I feel like I'm more of a Ravenclaw, sorry

I'm sorry but
how are these at all anything to do with hufflepuff? 'black is morbid and depressing' one of the hufflepuff colours is black (hence the badger). wtf does swimming or water polo have to do with hufflepuff house? 'you haven't made fun of anyone this month' yeah because no hufflepuffs made fun of harry at all in GOF. :B
quiz is lame and nobody should take it imo >:|

Yeeeah, that Facebook one seems pretty terrible. :/
Got Ravenclaw on the earlier-linked one, as predicted (Ravenclaw - 14, Hufflepuff - 13, Gryffindor - 11, Slytherin - 7).
I rather agree with #1 bro on Slytherin; though it is the most negatively portrayed house, it's decidedly not gothic or emo, and it doesn't even have to just be the house of jerks. Slytherin is about ambition and exclusivity. I'd like to see those aspects better represented on quizzes like this, rather than just "if you like punching and bullying people, you're in Slytherin". Heck, if it were, I think I'd be reasonably high on the Slytherin scale.
House quizzes should totally have a question that just asks which house you'd like to be in and give that extra weight. It's canon!

I believe most of the Slytherin misinterpretation comes from Hagrid's little gem in chapter five of Philosopher's Stone:
"There's not a single witch or wizard who went bad who wasn't in Slytherin."
Which causes all sorts of craziness that really can't be taken for granted.
First off, people usually assume that this is a two-way statement, which of course it isn't. It reminds me a lot of those 'if all x are y...' questions on 'IQ tests.' Supposing you take this statement at face value to be true, all it says is that All Evil People Were Slytherin, not that All Slytherins Are Evil. And that's where the misconception is born.
Of course you must remember that Hagrid was, himself, a confirmed Gryffindor and it seems standard that Gryffindors and Slytherins butt heads. I say this because it is simply ridiculous to think all "bad wizards" came from Slytherin. First off, not all bad wizards were from Hogwarts, though clearly that isn't the intention here.
SECONDLY, LOOK AT ALL THOSE DOUCHEBAGS IN HUFFLEPUFF. ZACHARIAS SMITH. Even Justin and Ernie can be jerks.
Anyway carry on.

JKR gives Slytherin a pretty unfair lot, I mean like in the last book none of the Slytherins stay behind to fight Voldy and pretty much the only Slytherins who aren't complete jerks are Slughorn and Snape (who's a bit of a selfish dick anyway). To be fair, all the books are told almost exclusively from the point of view of Gryffindors so. :/
seriously JKR isn't it kind of unfair to segregate eleven-year-old children into either one of three houses that are mostly good or a house where everyone is likely to think you're a dick. :C

Mmhm...
You've also got to bear in mind that Peter Pettigrew, the person who essentially "revived" Voldemort in the Goblet of Fire, was in fact a Gryffindor whilst at Hogwarts. Regulus Black, who was a follower of Voldemort was apparently against his killings and went so far as to try to destroy one of Voldemort's horcruxes and he was a Slytherin. Andromeda Black, Narcissa Malfoy and Bellatrix Lestrange's sister, actually went and married a muggle and was in Slytherin so it's probably very likely that she stood pretty firmly against the pureblood superiority struggle.
Also, as of the first quiz which people linked:
Gryffindor: 13
Ravenclaw: 13
Hufflepuff: 12
Slytherin: 6
The test announced Gryffindor as the winner, despite the draw.

Yeah, Slytherin is a perfectly cromulent House! I mean, Slytherin's ideals are actually pretty good, it's just that Voldemort sort of warped the general perception of what it means to be a Slytherin. I mean, ambition and cunning are perfectly good things to value. The only problem happens when you get caught up in blood prejudice and bigotry and gain a reputation as a House of cunts.
Sad times, sad times. I can understand the characters in universe getting a bad opinion of Slytherin and Slytherins, but readers? Surely the whole point was that you shouldn't generalise based on the actions of one person (or a group of people)? Like, Wormtail was a Gryffindor and he was a Death Eater!
ALSO I retook that first test and got Slytherin (19), Gryffindor (11), Ravenclaw (10) and Hufflepuff (3 or something). SO UH apparently I'm a Slytherdor not a Slytherclaw. hm. ONLY BARELY
