The hat is not indifferent to a person's choice, that is true. But just because a person values different things doesn't make them fundamentally different, and just because a person values a character trait doesn't mean they have it.
Wisdom is prized by Ravenclaw, but Cho doesn't seem very wise to me, nor does her friend with the boils on her face. And considering the Grey Lady's story, Ravenclaw has a long history of producing wizards that didn't really live up to what they believed in. I'm sure there are people like that from the other houses as well.
I think I've drifted off topic, however. Judging a house by its failures would be as unfair as, say, writing off the entirety of one house as irredeemably evil.
