All possible results

Cabin 3: Poseidon

Your result

Cabin 3: Poseidon

Calm on the surface, a storm underneath.

  • Loyal
  • Stubborn
  • Hard to hold back

You're easygoing right up until someone you love is threatened, and then nobody can stop you. Loyalty is your whole thing. You'd walk into a terrible situation for a friend without making a plan first, which is brave and also the reason your friends worry.

You don't like being told what to do, and you're at your best somewhere open: the sea, a pool, a long road. Cabin 3 is a quiet one, so you'd have plenty of room to yourself.

Cabin 6: Athena

Your result

Cabin 6: Athena

Always has a plan. Usually has two.

  • Clever
  • Prepared
  • Proud

You think your way through everything. While other people are panicking you're already three steps into a solution, and you find it faintly painful to watch someone do a thing the slow way. Your cabin would be the one with books on every surface and blueprints pinned to the walls.

Your pride is the catch. You hate being wrong and you hate asking for help even more. The smartest thing you can do is let somebody else be right now and then.

Cabin 7: Apollo

Your result

Cabin 7: Apollo

Brings the light, and the playlist.

  • Warm
  • Creative
  • A natural healer

People feel better when you walk in. You're the one with the song, the joke and the bandage, usually in that order. You're good at things that can't be taught from a manual: reading a mood, cheering someone up, making an ordinary evening feel like an occasion.

You give out so much sunshine that people forget you have off days. You're allowed to have them. Even Apollo's kids need someone to patch them up now and then.

Cabin 5: Ares

Your result

Cabin 5: Ares

First into the fight, last to leave it.

  • Fearless
  • Competitive
  • Fiercely protective

You don't do things halfway. You're direct, you're loud when you need to be, and you would rather settle a problem today than think about it for a week. People assume you just like fighting. What you actually can't stand is someone being pushed around.

The work for you is patience. Not every disagreement is a battle, and the people who stick by you are the ones who have seen what you're like when you put the sword down.

Cabin 10: Aphrodite

Your result

Cabin 10: Aphrodite

Understands people better than they understand themselves.

  • Charming
  • Perceptive
  • Stronger than you look

You notice everything about people: who likes whom, who is lying, who needs a kind word. You can talk almost anyone into almost anything, and you care about how things look because you know it changes how people feel. Others write that off as shallow. They're wrong.

Love is the oldest and strongest force in those stories, and your cabin knows it. Use the charm honestly and you'll be the person holding the whole group together.

Cabin 11: Hermes

Your result

Cabin 11: Hermes

Knows a guy. Is the guy.

  • Quick
  • Resourceful
  • Welcoming

You're fast on your feet and faster with an idea. You can find a way into anywhere and a way out of anything, and you have a talent for getting hold of things. Rules, to you, are mostly suggestions written by people with less imagination.

Cabin 11 is also the one that takes in every new arrival who hasn't been claimed yet, and that fits you too. Under the jokes and the tricks, you're the person who makes room for whoever has nowhere else to go.

How cabins work at Camp Half-Blood

In Rick Riordan’s books, Camp Half-Blood has a cabin for each Olympian god, and demigods live in the cabin of their godly parent once that parent claims them. Until then they stay in the Hermes cabin, because Hermes is the god of travelers and takes in anyone. Your cabin says a lot about you: Athena’s kids plan, Ares’ kids fight, Apollo’s kids sing and heal.

This quiz covers six of the best-known cabins: Poseidon, Athena, Apollo, Ares, Aphrodite and Hermes. I left out the others to keep the results clear, because the more results a short quiz has, the more random each one feels.

How the quiz chooses your cabin

There are nine questions. Each answer gives a point to one cabin and the cabin with the most points claims you. Every cabin can be reached by the same number of answers, so none of them is harder to get than the others. If you tie, you get whichever comes first in the list, and it’s worth retaking it with your second-choice answers to see what you were close to.

Is your cabin the same as your godly parent?

In the story, yes. Your cabin is your parent’s cabin. So if you get Cabin 6, your godly parent would be Athena, and if you get Cabin 3 you’d be sharing with Percy. A separate godly parent quiz would cover more gods, including the ones outside these six cabins, such as Hades, Hephaestus and Demeter.

Is this an official Percy Jackson quiz?

No, it’s a fan quiz. AuraQuizzes has no connection to Rick Riordan, Disney or the publishers, and nothing here comes from an official sorting test. I wrote it because I wanted one that asked about how you behave and skipped the “what’s your favorite weapon” questions.

The six cabins at a glance

  • Cabin 3, Poseidon: loyal, stubborn, happiest near water.
  • Cabin 5, Ares: bold, competitive, protective.
  • Cabin 6, Athena: strategic, well-read, proud.
  • Cabin 7, Apollo: sunny, musical, good at looking after people.
  • Cabin 10, Aphrodite: charming, observant, underestimated.
  • Cabin 11, Hermes: quick, inventive, welcoming to strangers.
