Erudite- The Intelligent. Provided intelligent teachers and researchers (Roth 43)
Appearance- Always wear at least one blue article of clothing, because it releases calming chemicals to help the brain function at best (Roth 348)
Traits- Intelligent, insightful, others may see them as condescending (Roth 33)
The people of Erudite believe that if everyone was educated and a devoted learner, then the world would be a much better place (Roth 33). Erudite is always pursing knowledge, and keeping records of data. Knowledge is the key to power in their minds. Instead of basing their decisions on emotions, all of their decisions are based on logic. Jeanine Matthews is the Erudite representative just based on her IQ score. In divergent, they are in charge of creating and controlling the aptitude testing. All of the data is kept with them about the city and each of the factions. Also, they are the reason for the technological advances in factions. They are the only ones that create the stimulation serums that are used during Aptitude testing, and during initiatives in each faction. Most Erudite's spend their time studying and taking tests to further their knowledge. There is a intelligence test that needs to be passed by an Erudite initiate, and if they do no pass, they become factionless.

Who are the erudite's in today's society?
People that could be considered "Erudite" in today's society could be world class surgeons, scientists, and professors. Scientists are always testing out certain things such as possibly a cure for cancer, and as to why some cancer's occur. Just like Erudite, they have to keep data of their work and keep learning more and more to keep improving certain medications or methods that could cure cancer, or any other terminal disease. Professor's are sharing their knowledge of a certain subject to other student's and helping them to improve and learn about things that they need to know. Also, being a surgeon is something that is related to an Erudite trait. For an example, surgeons are the ones performing a life-saving or even minor surgery on someone to help them continue with their life in a healthy matter.

The one person that I thought fit the Erudite faction the most was Albert Einstein. I picked him because he is the modern father of physics. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics, and with his finding of physics, it allowed us to develop things such as remote controls, DVD players, etc. He is like the Erudite faction because he was well educated and constantly making new discoveries with physics. His data and findings let us learn more about physics and create things in technology today.
