The chapter starts with all the sixteen year olds being given the aptitude test. When Beatrice's name is called she is shaking badly and feels like she's going to throw up. Beatrice is super nervous, which I don't really understand. I would be kind of excited about which faction the test would find me most suited for. I mean I still have the choice for which faction I become an initiate for.
I find the aptitude test brilliant. It consists of three different scenarios and the way the teen handles each one shows characterisics of a certain faction. It's a fast, easy, and reliable way to test the teens personality and give them an idea of which faction they would be most suited for. The simulation starts with the teen given a choice of cheese or a knife. Then, a vicioius dog comes in the room and the teen must deal with the situation. After that, a little girl comes in the room and the dog becomes violent towards the girl. The last part of the simulation is where the teen finds themselves being confronted by a man who is asking if they know who is in the newspapers picture. In the simulation the teen feels as though they do know who the man is and it is up to them if they lie or tell the truth.
I'm now going to talk about Tori. She is a Dauntless woman who administers the test to Beatrice. Beatrice notices a hawk tattoo on the back of Tori's neck. She is so nervous that she asks what it represents. Tori replies, "Never met a curious Abnegation before." After she says this Beatrice feels ashamed, because curiousity is against Abnegation beliefs. I find this a little ridiculous, because how is asking a question being selfish. Yet another reason why Abnegation and I would NOT suit.
Find out which faction you are most suited for by taking this quiz!
