Psychometric Hogwarts House Test
Based on research from Cambridge University
Hogwarts House tests are usually unscientific and “just for fun” pastimes. However, the enduring popularity of the Hogwarts Houses has led researchers to attempt to quantify them as psychometric concepts.
Though Hogwarts Houses are based on nothing more than the intuitions of J.K. Rowling, social scientists have developed a more precise way of measuring them by combining the scientific Big Five, HEXACO, and Dark Triad models of personality.

The IDRlabs Psychometric Hogwarts House Sorting Hat Test (IDR-PHHSHT) was developed by IDRlabs International. The IDR-PHHSHT utilizes the concept of Hogwarts Houses, which are the conceptual creation of J.K. Rowling, but is not associated with J.K. Rowling, Pottermore, or the Harry Potter franchise, and is not the equivalent of other “Pottermore,” “Wizarding World,” or “Sorting Hat” tests. HARRY POTTER is a trademark of Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc. The present test is in no way endorsed by, nor affiliated with, Warner Bros., Pottermore, or similar entities. No infringement is intended by the present test.
This psychometric iteration of the classic Hogwarts House test has been made with the aid of researchers and analysts who have previously been engaged with psychometric research work of several kinds. While the constructs of Hogwarts Houses are completely unscientific and based on the creative inclinations of J.K. Rowling, this quiz nevertheless uses items from genuine scientific instruments, such as the Big Five, the HEXACO, and the Dark Triad, to measure your propensities for the four Hogwarts Houses of Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, and Slytherin. The test was based on prior efforts to research Hogwarts Houses, empirically undertaken by scientists at Cambridge University.
Sorting Hat tests, even if presented in academic contexts, used for team-building, or free online tests like this one, are merely pointers to aid you in determining your preferred Hogwarts House. No test ever devised, not even those drawing on established academic psychometric instruments, can designate your Hogwarts House allegiances with complete validity, and no quiz can replace familiarizing yourself with the models, theories, and concepts being measured in depth. For more information on the four Hogwarts Houses of Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, and Slytherin, please refer to materials from the official Harry Potter franchise.
