I think most of the witch trials targeted introverts and intuitive types.
The INFP and INFJ type personalities in particular.
It's hard enough to deal with life if you're one of these types today, imagine a couple of hundred years or more ago.
Still witches had one primary contribution to history, in the mid 20th century when LGBTQ+ issues weren't discussed in polite company the TV show "Bewitched" used witches as a stand in for the LGBTQ+ community making it the "Gayest" show, and probably the friendliest accidental social engineering project, in history.
The INFP personality type is frequently referred to as "Fay" by people familiar with the personality types, and I only know that because I am one.

• "That's a fey person, someone who seems like they come from another world, kind of like an elf. ... Fey comes from the Old English word fǣge, or literally “fated to die soon,” which refers to that odd good mood a person is in right before they die." *

• INFPs have an innate desire to champion the underdogs of the world. These types aren't easily dissuaded from their cause and, while they may seem serene and gentle at first glance, they can become fiery and intense if provoked.*

So while my Dad raged against the Flower Children, I sought them out because they're obviously my people.
