According to an actual scientific paper published in the journal Personality and Individual Differences.
First things first: Choose your house.
If you've been sorted on Pottermore tell us that one, otherwise just ~go with what your heart tells you~. We'll tell you what the paper has to say about your personality. Stick around after you have your result to find out more about the researchers' findings.

Dr Laura Crysel and colleagues recruited 132 Harry Potter fans and Pottermore users through Twitter, Tumblr and Facebook for the study.
Participants told the scientists which house Pottermore had sorted them into before answering a series of personality questions. The questions addressed what psychologists call the "Big Five" personality traits (openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism) as well as the "Dark Triad" traits (narcissism, Machiavellianism, and psychopathy) and "need for cognition".

Crysel and her colleagues made predictions about which personality traits each house would exhibit based on the books.
They thought Gryffindors' bravery and daring would make them score high on extraversion and openness to experience; Hufflepuffs' justness, hard work and loyalty would make them score high on agreeability and conscientiousness and the need to belong; Ravenclaws' wit and learning would make them score high on need for cognition; and Slytherins', who will use "any means to achieve their ends", would score high on Machiavellianism thanks to their scheming.
