There isn't it an option there for "I know which house everyone expects me to go into, because that's all the feedback they've given me, but I might want to go into another house." Because at 11, I had received enough "smart person" feedback that everyone would have thought Ravenclaw, but I distinctly remember that year asking if the teachers could find some other thing to highlight at the end of year n kudos ceremony. They did, but only after again highlighting the smart kid thing.
So I went with what I might be feeling at the time, and got the house I usually get - Hufflepuff. But I could have been sorted elsewhere just from going with the expectations already laid out for me.
Miscellaneous. Eclectic. Random. Perhaps markedly literate, or at least suffering from the compulsion to read any text that presents itself, including cereal boxes.
