  • This house prefers the Divergent world to ours

    Infoslide

These factions form separate communities, often acting as sub-federal authorities (they function like a municipality or district). Each faction has a specific role: Bravery focuses on defense, Intelligence on education and research, Kindness on healthcare and community, and Honesty on law and justice. When adolescents reach the age of maturity, they take a test to determine their strongest trait and are assigned to the corresponding faction. Once assigned, individuals cannot change factions and must commit to their role.
