Comparing MBTI and Ilvermorny
I’ve seen a lot of people try to compare Ilvermorny and Hogwarts, and most of these frankly don’t stack up. Rowling has told us before that Hogwarts and Ilvermorny aren’t meant to be on a one-to-one ratio, they’re meant to be two sides of a person. She didn’t mention, however, that Ilvermorny wasn’t meant to match up to MBTI.

One of the easiest seen correlations is that those who have a dominant Te or Ti are often described as “scholars”. Due to having a natural thirst for knowledge, Horned Serpents wish to know as much about the world (and everything within it) as they possibly can because of this, they are seen as the minds of all wizards. Seeing as they crave knowledge they tend to want things in an orderly manner to keep things organized making them be seen as perfectionists.
Dominant Te/Ti Users: ENTJ, ESTJ, INTP, ISTP
Auxiliary Te/Ti Users: ENTP, ESTP, INTJ, ISTJ
Another obvious connection, those who use Fe/Fi care, whether it be only those they are close to or everyone in the entire world. Pukwudgie truly are the heart of a wizard, using their hearts to make most of their decisions. Although not all go into the medical aspect of healing, many love giving advice and healing another’s emotional pains. Since they are known as the “hearts” they tend to understand the feelings of others easier than others.

Auxiliary Fe/Fi Users: ENFP. ESFP, INFJ, ISFJ
When you get down to their core, many Intuitive users can easily be seen as Thunderbirds. They are often spontaneous adventurers who are up for anything as long as it promises to be exciting. Due to being adventurous they tend to love the thought and feeling of freedom. Ne/Ni users most often use their gut feeling, or their soul, when making a decision. They are often seen as optimistic and hopeful.

Auxiliary Ne/Ni users: ENFJ, ENTJ, INFP, INTP
This one can be the hardest to see, simply because these two functions are almost polar opposites, but just like the others, the connection between Se/Si users and Wampus exists. Se/Si users tend to make decisions based on their senses, or what information their body gives them. Se users are known for living in the moment, and they can easily be seen as the Warriors since their catch phrase is YOLO. Si users often focus on the past, sometimes being able to vividly remember a past event, which makes them similar to the body of a wizard.
Dominant Se/Si users: ESFP, ESTP, ISFJ, ISTJ
Auxiliary Se/Si users: ESFJ, ESTJ, ISFP, ISTP
Now I know that this won’t work for everyone, but there is no denying that there is a connection of some sort between the two. Feel free to add on to this!
