By now, any true Potterhead knows which Hogwarts house they"d be sorted into -- even if they vociferously disagree with the official Sorting Hat quiz (Gryffindor?Really?).

Now, you have a whole new personality test to get excited about with the JK Rowling-penned test for the American wizarding school, Ilvermorney.

The American school is part of the publicity and mythology for the upcoming movie "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them," which takes place in the New World instead of Jolly Old England. You can read the whole "history" of the Massachusetts-based school here.

Of course, it wouldn"t be the Potterverse if there wasn"t a quiz that let you neatly define yourself within a set of vague personality traits by answering cryptic and seemingly bizarre questions.

The four American houses are steeped in Native American history, which has spurred some accusations of cultural appropriation from. Here are the four houses:

• Thunderbird: Based on a common figure from multiple tribes, this creature is believed to bring thunder (and sometimes lightning). In wizarding terms, it represents the soul of wizards and favors the adventurous. Think of this as your Gryffindor.
• Horned Serpent: A dragon-like creature found in many myths of tribes in the Eastern U.S. For the magically inclined, it represents the mind of the wizard and is renowned for its scholars. Yup, we"ve found Ravenclaw.
• Pukwudgie: Magical little people in Algonquin beliefs, similar to European fairies, they can be helpful or dangerous in turn. Clearly, this is the best house. It represents the heart of a wizard and is famous for its healers. Welcome to Hufflepuff, friends.
• Wampus: Rooted in Cherokee folklore, the cat-like creature is seen as a protector in Native stories -- but a menace in the stories of white Appalachian settlers. In Rowling"s world, it represents the body of a wizard and is warriors. So, kinda Slytherin-esque.

Which house are you? Only one way to find out. Take the quiz and report back.
