When someone turns sixteen, they take the aptitude test which tells them which faction they're supposed to be in. However, the test doesn't affect our choices. Then the next day, there's the Choosing Ceremony when you decide if you're going to stay in your faction, or change.
Then there's those who are Divergent. The ones who's test results gave them multiple factions.
