MBTI as Christian Music

   Hey ya'll!  So, I should probably explain what this is all about (per Promise's note in all caps left here for me...)  :D  Saturday night, I was chilling out and listening to some music.  Last month a friend and I were talking about our current music obsessions, and he told me about the song Happiness by Needtobreathe.  I looked it up, and I currently love it.  So, I was listening to it Saturday, and this random thought when shooting through my head... "If Myers-Briggs types had theme songs, this would be an ESFP."  Thus, I emailed Promise, asking for help, and...here we are!  Thank you, kindly INFJ, for taking over so well.  Because you know us INFPs....ha...ha...ha *gets distracted by the butterfly floating through the garden*

   So...Grace and I are writing this post together. She's doing the 'Ps' and I'm doing the 'Js.'

   

   It took me a long time to decide on a song for ISTPs, but I finally chose Live Like You're Loved by Hawk Nelson.  The reason I chose this song is because ISTPs tend to be pretty laid-back.  They seem kind of spontaneous and just kind of...go-with-the-flow to me (even though they are full of oxymorons and tend to be rational, too).  They are very relaxed, and I feel like this song is kind of saying, "Hey, don't be so hard on yourself.  You're loved by God!!"

   For ESTPs, I chose Revelation Song by Phillips, Craig, and Dean.  The reason I chose this song is because ESTPs come across as blunt to me, like they're saying, "Here's the truth!"

Since INTPs are very logical, I chose I Can Only Imagine by MercyMe.  I've read that INTPs have an "unquenchable thirst for knowledge."  This song is one man wondering what meeting Jesus will be like.

   Since I'm not really close to ENTPs and haven't really figured out how they work yet, Promise suggested VIP by Manic Drive.  I have to admit it's pretty accurate for what little I know of ENTPs.

   For INFPs, I have picked Here's My Heart, Lord by Casting Crowns.  The reason I chose this song is because of our high Fi.  Fi means we look at our hearts and say, "This goes against my morals" or "This goes with what I believe".  I think the line that drew me to picking this song for us INFPs is, "Here's my heart, Lord; speak what is true."

   

   As for ENFPs, I've chosen And All the People Said "Amen!" by Matt Maher.  This song just makes me think of the bouncy happiness of ENFPs!  I just love it.  :D

   They say ISFPs like to "wake up a different person than they go to bed as", and that they're very passionate.  Since this is the case, I've picked Tell Your Heart to Beat Again by Danny Gokey.

   Now for my favorite one that I picked -- in fact, the song that inspired this whole post....for the 

   ESFPs, I picked Happiness by Needtobreathe.  This song was recommended to me by a dear friend, and after I listened to it for the first time, I was hooked.  One night I was listening to it when I realized, this could be the ESFP's theme song.  Always ready to have fun and be the center of attention, ESFPs are always searching for happiness.  :)

   Hey! Prommie here with our lovely 'J' friends!

   Starting off with INTJ. This is Not a Test  by Tobymac. I feel like the song has the fearless, logical heart of an INTJ. Its go that "quit messing around and go do what God wants, and for heaven's sake don't whine" thing that a friend of mine has. (love ya, Kat!)

   ENTJ. Grace is quite interested to find what I've picked for this type. (hi Jon! the HPEPP lives!) I chose Slow Down by Third Day. It just struck me as a "Keep up with me if you can!" Battle cry of a strong willed ENTJ.

   INFJ. Being this type, I had a super hard time choosing 'cause there are a ton of great INFJ-y songs out there. I chose This is Who I Am by Colton Dixon. This song kinda sounds like an INFJ's thoughts.

   ENFJ. This was super easy for me. My daddy's a ENFJ. This is Let Me Love You by Third Day (yes more Third Day. They're great.) ENFJs love fighting for people and Ideas. They're caring and courageous.

   ISFJ. My Mom's an ISFJ. She's kind and practical, and doesn't hesitate to help. I picked Brave by Nicole Nordeman. I think they'd appreciate the idea of letting go and letting God.

   ESFJ. I thought this was the perfect song. If We're Honest by Francesca Battistelli. It's caring and sweet and honest, like the ESFJs. I feel like they might enjoy this song.

   ISTJ. I picked this song, He is With You by Mandisa for it's reassurance. I know ISTJs sometimes just need someone to be there for them. They are so strong and determined to finish their task.You always have God. No matter what. (hi Kathryn! love ya!)

   ESTJ. Last One! Trust in You by Lauren Daigle. ESTJs are awesome, so determined and great at commanding order, but this song shows off the vulnerability that ESTJs sometimes have with control. I think they'd appreciate it. 

So, since Grace wrote the intro, I'll do the wrap up. I know I had a ton of fun (and work) doing this post, and I'm sure Grace did too. Enjoy! ~Promise --Grace
