I am E/I NTP. I have done the full-blown MBTI several times over maybe 40 years. I always split the difference between Extroversion/Introversion, but strongly Intuitive, Thinking, Perceiving.

And there are other schools where the staff don't give a crap about "Pedigree", often because most of the staff have had a major singing career. Wichita State would fit here. They've sung in all the great "houses", with voices good, GREAT, and ... problematic. They are bored with Pedigree and Being Social for the purposes of raising money for some Opera company.
They love *singing*, but ... it's got to be both technically correct AND ... smoothly, incredibly, emotional.
At such a place, many of the better students are rather introverted. And valued. They actually think about the material they're learning to perform. Not about making it razzle.
Humans being well, Human, this happens in other music forms also. And is why it's so important to visit several places to see where you would actually thrive.

Pop pseudoscience... for example, extraversion does not mean that one is happy in crowds and uncomfortable alone, nor the reverse for introversion. It does not mean the source of influence.
The real meaning is the distinction between the conditions (alone or in a crowd) where you are renewed, recharged, replenished, where you develop and build yourself, versus where you are drained, discharged, consumed, and where you wear out and decay.

It was fascinating, but I was short on cash and didn’t buy it. I never found it again and always wanted to. Working with so many other architects over the years has been an interesting study of personalities for me. That got magnified further by going to business school after I became licensed and changing my perspective on the architectural profession. I got to check out the website that you linked.
Third. Per the Myers-Briggs I have always tested to be an ENTJ, so I am generally not introverted. However, I have never put any importance on that test. It is too easy to answer the questions to get a result as to how you would like to be perceived by others.
Fourth. I play guitar mostly for myself. Sure my family listens and I have played with others on rare occasions, but I have never had the desire to be performer. I guess in that way I am more of an introvert.

I am an INTJ.
I am astonished at the dominance of the very rare INTJ type here. I see a lot of personality testing in my workplace and i have nearly always been on my own as an INTJ.
Its a fascinating result. I need to think about this more.

"In social science, we use four standards: Are the categories reliable, valid, independent and comprehensive? For the MBTI, the evidence says not very, no, no, and not really.”How Accurate Is the Myers-Briggs Personality Test? LiveScience
-
I don't think this has a scientific basis; because the test says I'm a DOLT, though I'm sure I'm a STAR.
-
Mbti is not supremely precise but it is still insightful and useful. The big 5 personality test is superior.
INTJ overrepresentation here is fascinating.

Yipes! Another INTP Jazz guitarist here!
So, that last indicator J or P...
J = theory?
P = by ear?

The truth is, these things aren’t perfect, but maybe they’re in the ballpark.

One thing for sure, Meyers-Briggs is a big time money maker.
A consultant came into a place I worked, set up a workshop for the execs based on Myers-Briggs personality types and working together based on that.
He ingratiated himself with the President/founder.
Then there were the workshops for the directors, then the managers, then the other Corp employees, then the field regionals etc.
He fed from the corporate trough for a couple of years, to the tune of hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Perhaps that was the main purpose of the Meyers-Briggs tests.

People seem to like categorizing things. Whether or not the categories are valid.

I just had to do this for a class I'm taking, interesting stuff. Here's my "diagnosis" lol
INFP-A - Assertive Mediator / Diplomat
Although they may seem quiet or unassuming, Mediators (INFPs) have vibrant, passionate inner lives. Creative and imaginative, they happily lose themselves in daydreams, inventing all sorts of stories and conversations in their minds. These personalities are known for their sensitivity – Mediators can have profound emotional responses to music, art, nature, and the people around them. Idealistic and empathetic, Mediators long for deep, soulful relationships, and they feel called to help others. But because this personality type makes up such a small portion of the population, Mediators may sometimes feel lonely or invisible, adrift in a world that doesn’t seem to appreciate the traits that make them unique.

I have taken this once or twice, but don't recall my scores or profile.
My GF used to work for Gallup, so she was really into this stuff. She said my profile was "exactly what she would expect" after knowing me awhile, whatever that means.
When I was doing the online dating thing I remember one profile where the woman posted "If you haven't taken a Myers-Briggs test, don't even think of responding." I didn't respond. Maybe I missed out on a lot of woman.
-
Most of the time when asked to take one of these, maybe once every several years, it's INFP. And, depending on the test type, with a T tacked on. That puts me in the "Turbulent Mediator" category, which based on the results here at the time of posting is the 3rd commonest trait of jazz guitarists.
Perhaps these tests are more, or less, accurate depending on the traits and attitudes to test-taking. One would imagine, though not in my case, that the results may vary depending on time and place.
Part of me sees these as amusing and a tad narcissistic; part is uncomfortable with their accuracy.

im an infp, but I see a lot more "t" types here... I wonder if jazz in general brings in more thinking types based in the heavy thought process involved in getting good at jazz. I have always struggled with the logic of jazz, but love the music and found a means of getting better over the years. I think the infp is too abstractly creative for lack of a better term. I've often felt that I'd be a better songwriter than a player, but love improvisation so much I can't stop it now?

Just my opinion, of course. I guess I'm in the DGAF category.
