Eliezer uses the Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality "four houses" metaphor alot (see the tags on this post), so I'm writing down what they are (in HPMOR, not necessarily the original Rowling novels) for my own reference:
Hufflepuff. Folk notion of a good person: hard-working, loyal, care about each other, have growth mindset, not to picky about who they'll take as friends. Fair play.
Ravenclaw. Stereotypical nerds: driven by curiosity, not so big on hard-work, ambition, friend-making, and loyalty. Intelligent, witty.
Gryffindor. Courageous, willing to seize adventure.
Slytherin. Ambitious, strategic, calculating, leadership, resourcefulness.
Also see Wikipedia.
I was always disappointed in Rowling's attitudes toward Hufflepuff (hard-working, loyal and good friends? pshaw! who needs 'em?), and was happy that EY seemed to have more respect for it. :)
