9[[folder:Main terms in a nutshell]]
10
11* '''Primaries''' are the MOTIVES. WHY does one do things?
12** Gryffindor Primary ([[red:Lion]] Prime, GP): [[DontThinkFeel Moral intuition]] (they decide what's righteous with their heart)
13** Hufflepuff Primary ([[gold:Badger]] Prime, HP): [[TheNeedsOfTheMany Sense of community]] (they wish to improve the lives of all whom they regard as "people")
14** Ravenclaw Primary ([[blue:Bird]] Prime, RP): [[{{Ubermensch}} Systems of values]] (they build their logic from the outside world)
15** Slytherin Primary ([[green:Snake]] Prime, SP): [[AlwaysSaveTheGirl Individualist allegiances]] (they prioritize people they are closest to)
16* '''Secondaries''' are the METHODS. HOW does one do things?
17** Gryffindor Secondary ([[cinnamon:Lion]] Second, GS): [[{{Determinator}} Stubbornness and courage]] (will kick a locked door down)
18** Hufflepuff Secondary (Badger Second, HS): [[TheReliableOne Hard work and reliability]] (will knock on a locked door)
19** Ravenclaw Secondary ([[YouKnowThatThingWhere Bird]] Second, RS): [[ThePlan Planning and knowledge]] (will have the corresponding key)
20** Slytherin Secondary ([[gray:Snake]] Second, SS): [[XanatosSpeedChess Adaptability and cunning]] (will decide to pick the lock)
21* A '''model''' is a way of life that has been learned by someone and can be comfortably used, but isn't central to the extent of true primaries and secondaries.
22* A '''performance''' is one's ability to convincingly ''look'' like a different primary and/or secondary.
23* '''Burning''' is when someone is unable to use their primary or secondary.
24* '''Exploding''' is when someone takes a primary or secondary to an unhealthy extent.

28[[folder:Important Notes]]
29
30* Contrary to the names, secondaries are no less important than primaries; they are just different aspects of a person.
31* '''No primary or secondary is inherently better or worse than others. Any of them can be very healthy or very unhealthy, any of them can be immature or developed, and any of them can be used for immense evil... or immense good.'''
32* All the qualities mentioned above exist to varying degrees in all sapient beings. However, ''a true primary consists of the motives one finds their moral core in, and a true secondary consists of the methods one regards as the most optimal to them''.
33** For example, someone who is hardworking and fair could be putting up a model and/or performance, and thus isn't necessarily a Badger Secondary. However, someone who genuinely values Badger Second qualities, whether or not they can use said qualities well, is likely a Badger Second.
34* The basic Primary and Secondary houses are summarized starting places used as a basis for further exploration. Each House has its own vast range of possibilities outside the traditional "stereotypes".
35** This means that not all Gryffindors are loudly emotional, not all Hufflepuffs are nice or caring, not all Ravenclaws are logical intellectuals, and not all Slytherins are ungenerous or manipulative.

39[[folder:House Pairings]]
40
41* Idealist vs Loyalist: [[red:Lion]] and [[blue:Bird]] Primes focus on [[ForGreatJustice concepts of what is right]], while [[gold:Badger]] and [[green:Snake]] Primes are heavily people-driven.
42* Constructed vs Felt: [[blue:Bird]] and [[green:Snake]] Primes prioritize systems of motivations, while [[red:Lion]] and [[gold:Badger]] Primes are much more in touch with their gut feelings.
43* Internal vs External: [[red:Lion]] and [[green:Snake]] Primes derive their morals from within themselves, while [[gold:Badger]] and [[blue:Bird]] Primes derive them from external circumstances.
44* Solid vs Fluid: [[cinnamon:Lion]] and [[YouKnowThatThingWhere Bird]] Seconds are relatively static and stable in their abilities, while Badger and [[gray:Snake]] Seconds are often more flexible in how they act to reach their goals.
45* Situational vs Inspirational: [[YouKnowThatThingWhere Bird]] and [[gray:Snake]] Seconds succeed heavily in [[TheChessmaster solving problems and predicaments]], while [[cinnamon:Lion]] and Badger Seconds more commonly utilize their own persistence and rally others.
46* Improvisers vs Builders: [[cinnamon:Lion]] and [[gray:Snake]] Seconds jump into the middle of adversary and [[ImprovisationalIngenuity react on the fly]], while Badger and [[YouKnowThatThingWhere Bird]] Seconds utilize whatever they have already brought with them.
47* Thus...
48** [[red:Lion]] Primes FEEL their IDEALS from the INSIDE.
49** [[gold:Badger]] Primes FEEL their LOYALTIES from the OUTSIDE.
50** [[blue:Bird]] Primes CONSTRUCT their IDEALS from the OUTSIDE.
51** [[green:Snake]] Primes CONSTRUCT their LOYALTIES from the INSIDE.
52** [[cinnamon:Lion]] Seconds INSPIRE by IMPROVISING in SOLID ways.
53** Badger Seconds INSPIRE by BUILDING in FLUID ways.
54** [[YouKnowThatThingWhere Bird]] Seconds SITUATE by BUILDING in SOLID ways.
55** [[gray:Snake]] Seconds SITUATE by IMPROVISING in FLUID ways.

61* '''Some ground rules:'''
62** If you change an example that someone else posted, please show your reasoning in the Discussion thread to avoid Administrivia/{{Edit War}}s.
63** If you sort a character somewhere that others would find odd, add as much additional justification in a note next to the name as needed.
64** If a character uses at least one model and/or performance that overshadows their true house combo, sort the character with the primary and secondary they truly value.
65** Sort examples for each combo by work name's alphabetical order — except for Franchise/HarryPotter canon, which always goes first.
66** List any sources other than your own brain at the bottom of the folder.
67** Just like [[TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons DnD]] alignments, examples of Sorting Hat Chats house combos [[Administrivia/TheGreatCharacterAlignmentDebate are rather subjective]]. Please avoid Administrivia/{{Entry Pimp}}ing them outside any future works where this system is {{canon}}ical.
68** '''Avoid sorting one-note characters whose genuine Primaries and Secondaries could be anything.''' People's urge to take care of their loved ones is as strong as their urge to [[Administrivia/PeopleSitOnChairs sit on chairs]], but only a fraction of such people find their moral core in close bonds and thus are Snake Primes.
69** Mark ALL major spoilers, except true house combos.
70** '''Lighter spoilers and all true house combo locations are unmarked. Administrivia/YouHaveBeenWarned.'''
