Wikipedia
In the Divergent trilogy and film, factions are societal divisions that classify citizens based on their aptitudes and values. The factions are Dauntless (the brave), Amity (the peaceful), Erudite (the intelligent), Abnegation (the selfless), and Candor (the honest). On an appointed day of every year, all sixteen-year-olds must select the faction to which they will devote for the rest of their lives after taking a placement test. The placement test shows you which faction you should be in. You can choose to devote yourself to your faction chosen by the placement test, or you could choose which faction you want to be in, regardless of your placement test results.
