The Sorting Hat Ceremony

This is my revised version of the sorting hat quiz, based solely on personality traits, rather than anything arbitrary or irrelevant. Some questions are taken from Pottermore and some are my own.

Answer the questions as honestly as possible, based on who you are and not who you want to be! For the most accurate results, avoid trying to guess which answer corresponds to which house.
