From your worries that academia doesn't do enough real-world change, to your understanding that being a teacher = power over your students, to your Granny Aching quote, you value the understanding of the responsibilities of power that really screams Stark to me, in that only house that doesn't keep a headman way. Your core values circle around structure, self-discipline and social justice. You remind me a lot of Ned's good traits (minus the erm, how shall we say, personal naivete), down to your weaknesses, like "Careers are important but they don’t make you laugh at the end of the day". Even your hobby, running, has a solitude+hard work vibe that feels v. Stark to me.
