The Myers-Briggs Types as Classical Music -- Grace

Promise and I are kind of into the Myers Briggs fandom right now.  :D  So, Prommy, this one is for you.  :D
Here I have compiled a list of the Myers-Briggs types as classical music (except for Chopsticks....we'll make an exception for the ESFPs).  :D

INFJ 

INFJs are mysterious, magical souls.  They remind me of dark nights under the stars, perhaps at the edge of a beautiful blue lake.  So, for this reason, I chose Moonlight Sonata by Ludwig van Beethoven.

INFP

Well, I am an INFP.  We are often seen as dreamers, idealists, and starry-eyed envisioners of a rose-tinted future.  So, who better to convey us than Claude Debussy and his Clair de Lune?

INTJ

INTJs are thinkers, amazing, and some of my favorite people.  So, I chose a song by my favorite composer, Frederic Chopin.  I bring you the Prelude in C Minor.

INTP

I'll be honest -- I don't actually know any INTPs (that I can think of, off the top of my head), soooo I just went off of what I gleaned from 16personalities.com and Tumblr text posts that I read off Pinterest.

Say hello to the Largo from the New World Symphony, by the renowned Anton Dvorak!

ISTP

I've read that ISTPs like to be unique, so I chose a unique, unexpected song for them here.  Again with the Debussy (I'm telling you, this guy's exquisite!!!) -- The Little Shepherd Boy by Claude Debussy.

ISFP

Again with not actually knowing any of these.  Based on what I've read, I picked Spring Song for them by Felix Mendelssohn (another longstanding favorite of mine).

ISTJ

Looking back, I can't even remember why exactly I picked this for the ISTJs, but for some reason, I went with Fur Elise by Ludwig van Beethoven.

ISFJ

ISFJs are warm and kindhearted.  So I picked one of my favorite "warm" pieces -- Album Leaf in E Flat Major by Frederic Chopin.

ENTP

I read somewhere that ENTPs are like an exciting night with lots of people at a carnival.  So, I bring you Flying Leaves by Carl Kolling.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hnPlh0Tj0LM

ENFP

Let's face it....ENFPs are amazing.  For them, I picked the Hallelujah Chorus from the Messiah by George Frederic Handel.

ENTJ

I am very, very close to an ENTJ.  They can be blustering and violent, and soft and sweet at times.  So here is Knight Rupert by Robert Schumann.

ENFJ

They say ENFJs are very charismatic and quite inspiring.  Sooooo I bring you one of the single most inspiring songs I know.  :D  Pomp and Circumstance by Edward Elgar.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GBUH1XkNR1k


ESTP

Again, no idea why I chose this song.  Solfeggietto by Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GBUH1XkNR1k

ESFP

So ESFPs are known for being partiers, loving fun, and just being....out there.  So, what better song to give to the ESFPs than Chopsticks, arranged by Richard Compton?  :D

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=irryxsgtCpw

ESTJ

The Invention in F Major by Johann Sebastian Bach.

ESFJ

So this song just screams "ESFJ!!!!!!" at me -- Spring from Antonio Vivaldi's Four Seasons.

What songs would you have awarded to these sixteen personalities?


(PS, Here's to the ENTJ brother of mine for inspiring this!!!)

  1. I'd pick winter by Vivaldi for ISTJs. I LOVE BEETHOVEN. Nailed the INFJ. I'd say Fur Elise kinda my song. I love the different feelings and the complexity of the song, like INFJs. :)
