I don't think you go to Durmstrang or Beauxbatons because of your personality. Durmstrang teaches Dark Magic and doesn't accept Muggleborns, but that doesn't mean you have to be evil and "racist" to go there. Sure, Grindelwald was from Durmstrang, but he was expelled. But mostly, it's about where you live. Durmstrang's location is the very northern Norway or Sweden, so that means the usual students there live in Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Austria, Finland etc. I know, Viktor Krum is Bulgarian, but I think he is a rare case. That means, that Rapunzel, Eugene, Elsa, Anna, Kristoff and Hans, and possibly Hiccup, Astrid, Fishlegs etc. would go there.

Beauxbatons isn't about being beautiful, rich or intelligent. It is also about where you live. Beauxbatons is located in France, so that means students from France, Spain, Italy and yeah - South European countries. Merida is Scottish, and Hogwarts accepts students from Scotland, England and Ireland, which means she would go to Hogwarts.

You can choose to go to a school somewhere outside your country, but most people don't.
