Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. At the Choosing Ceremony, how do the 16-year-olds indicate which faction they choose?

Answer: by spilling their blood on a symbolic substance

While the aptitude test may help someone decide, the choice is ultimately up to the individual. In the Ceremony, each 16-year-old is handed a knife and expected to spill his/her blood on whichever substance represents that particular faction. The substances are "stones for Abnegation, water for Erudite, earth for Amity, lit coals for Dauntless, and glass for Candor".

2. Caleb surprises Beatrice by choosing Erudite when he seems to be 100% Abnegation. What one sign of his intellectual curiosity could have tipped her off?

Answer: the books in his room

Beatrice's brother was always so selfless, even at age four, that she was certain he would stay in their home faction of Abnegation. Stunned by his choice and given no time to absorb it, she nearly chose Abnegation for herself rather than let her parents lose both children to other factions...but she just wasn't selfless enough to do it.

3. Three of the Dauntless initiates don't make it to the headquarters after the Choosing Ceremony. Which of the following is NOT a reason for this?

Answer: one initiate is shot by another

The Dauntless initiation process is highly dangerous and competitive. Among those who make it to headquarters, only half are allowed to remain in Dauntless at the end of the process. Some choose to drop out, some just aren't good enough, and some... die.

4. Among the initiates who do make it to the Dauntless headquarters, which faction isn't represented? (In other words, which faction does NONE of those initiates come from?)

Answer: Amity

The one transfer from Amity fails to make it to headquarters, deciding that he'd rather be factionless than risk his life jumping off a moving train... across a wide gap... seven stories above ground. Beatrice disagrees with him, believing it would be better to be dead, but defends his right to make his own choice.

5. Growing up in Abnegation, what was Beatrice taught about children speaking at the dinner table?

Answer: "Our listening ears are a gift."

At the table, the children must give their "listening ears" as a gift to their parents. After dinner, in the family room, the parents give the children their own "listening ears". Beatrice, however, can't seem to wait that long!

6. Tris (formerly "Beatrice") is surprised by the food when she first comes to Dauntless. What food is served that she's never seen before?

Answer: hamburgers

In Abnegation, they only have plain food, to avoid self-indulgence. Transferring from one faction to another is a huge culture shock--from food and clothes to public displays of affection, initiates who transfer often find themselves surprised or out of step with their new faction. However, despite what Tris's friend Christina thinks, she did NOT leave Abnegation because of the food!

7. Tris embraces her new life in Dauntless by getting tattooed. What is the first tattoo she gets?

Answer: three ravens

The ravens represent her family (mother, father, brother). Despite the society's injuction "faction before blood", Tris wishes to honor both her old life and her new one. This theme is shown again when she later chooses to get tattoos of both the Abnegation and Dauntless emblems.

8. What are the Abnegation and Dauntless emblems (in that order)?

Answer: helping hands, flames

Each faction has its own emblem. Those two are described in the text of the book, as Tris gets them tattooed on her shoulders. The other emblems are a tree for Amity, scales for Candor, and an eye for Erudite.

9. What is the first training activity in the Dauntless initiation process?

Answer: learning to shoot a gun

The three-stage initiation process begins with physical training. The second stage is emotional (overcoming fears), and the third is mental (combining the first two).

10. Which faction does Tris's friend Christina come from?

Answer: Candor

She has a really hard time at first learning when to hold her tongue, as she's used to being encouraged and expected to be completely forthright. When she tells Tris that the Candor initiates have to take a truth serum and expose their every secret, Tris is horrified.

11. On Visiting Day, why does Tris's mom not go to see Caleb?

Answer: No one from Abnegation is allowed in Erudite.

Tris's dad is too upset with his children to see either of them. Her mom, however, gives her a message to pass on to Caleb, since she isn't allowed to see him herself.

12. When Tris discovers a particular fear of Christina's, she can't stop laughing. What is this fear?

Answer: moths

Intimacy is a fear of Tris's, which Christina finds funny. She jokingly guesses that their instructor's fears might be marshmallows and sunrises.

13. What color(s) do the Erudites make a point of wearing?

Answer: blue

Each faction tends to wear particular colors: grey for Abnegation, black for Dauntless, red and yellow for Amity, black and white for Candor, and blue for Erudites. The Erudites believe that wearing blue calms the mind, allowing for clearer reasoning.

14. When Tris meets Jeanine (the leader of Erudite) in person, she recognizes her voice. Where did she first hear Jeanine's voice?

Answer: in the aptitude test

Jeanine created the aptitude test, as well as the simulations. Tris recognizes her voice in the hall at Dauntless, but doesn't realize at first where she's heard it before.

15. Which of the following is from the Dauntless manifesto?

Answer: "We believe...in the courage that drives one person to stand up for another."

Dauntless has lost sight of this particular part of their original intentions. The other answers are each bits of manifestos of the various other factions.
