The Hogwarts House of Each Myers-Briggs® Personality Type

The ENFP – Most Likely Choice: Gryffindor

Second-Most Likely: Hufflepuff

As an ENFP you have a natural desire to stick up for the underdogs of the world. You hate seeing anyone mistreated and become fiery and outspoken in the defense of the oppressed. Your creative, adventurous soul is the perfect fit for Gryffindor, although you also might find a welcome home in Hufflepuff, where kindness and fairness prevail. Your fierce devotion to your cause, your impulsive nature, and strong moral compass naturally make you a perfect fit for the Gryffindor family.

The ENTP – Most Likely Choice: Slytherin

Second-Most Likely: Ravenclaw

According to Albus Dumbledore, Slytherin students were known for their cleverness, resourcefulness, determination, and a “certain disregard for rules.” If these words don’t describe an ENTP I don’t know what does! ENTPs will find their curiosity, ambition, and innovation prized in the Slytherin house. They also might enjoy debating theories and perplexing ideas in the Ravenclaw home as an alternative.

The INFP – Most Likely Choice: Hufflepuff

Second-Most Likely: Gryffindor

Kind-hearted and compassionate, you will find a welcome home in Hufflepuff, where empathy for the underdogs overcomes quests for power. You love Hufflepuff for its openness, honesty, and egalitarian nature. You thrive in this house because it prioritizes patience, kindness, and variety. Hufflepuff isn’t a place for “cliques” and bravado. It’s a place of honor, loyalty, and good-will – values that you strive to embody as an INFP.

Your outspoken, chivalrous nature means that you’re willing to fight for your cause and speak up against tyranny. That said, some ENFJs might find their allegiances at Hufflepuff, where loyalty, kindness, and sympathy prevail.

The ENTJ – Most Likely Choice: Slytherin

Second-Most Likely: Ravenclaw

Slytherin house rewards individuals who are cunning, ambitious, creative, and determined. Success-oriented and visionary, you fit perfectly into this house. You are driven to achieve great things and don’t shy away from a challenge – something that embodies Slytherins. Many of your type are also drawn towards powerful leadership positions – a driving force of the Slytherin.

Contemplative, visionary, and creative – Ravenclaw is the perfect fit for your curious, deep-thinking mind. Ravenclaws are unique and enjoy thinking outside the box, prizing wisdom over glory and brains over brawn. As a deeply analytical type this house fits like a glove.
