An Instrument For Each Personality Type

The best Christmas i ever got was an electric guitar when i was about 10 which i have been playing with much joy ever since so i have always encouraged anyone to buy their children a musical instrument because once learnt, that is a skill which will follow you around forever and it teaches kids about music which you somehow hear differently once you know how it is created and my go to for present advice is is a guitar but that isnt for everyone so i asked a Psychiatrist friend which instrument is most suited to children's personality type.
As always, she never let me down and provided me with a complete breakdown of which personalty type is suited to which instrument so do you have a budding Slash or Billy Joel currently sat in the front room watching Spongebob Squarepants?

INTJ Personality types are loners, analytical, logical, imaginative and strategic thinkers and are best suited to a Piano.  
ENTJ's are bold, imaginative and strong-willed, rational and logical and would be best given a drum set.
ENTP types are smart, curious, logical, rational, easily bored, spontaneous and would thrive with an electric guitar.
INFJ's are empathetic, compassionate, reserved, cooperative and spend time examining their own thoughts and feelings and would flourish with a cello.
INFP's are reserved, poetic, kind, introverted, loners, emotional and imaginative and would shine if given a Harp.
INTP's are creative, understanding, flexible, innovative and deep thinkers so a keyboard or synthesizer would be the ideal instrument.
ENFJ's are imaginative, charismatic, empathetic, forward looking, encouraging and understanding and woukld be best suited to a Saxophone.
ENFP types are enthusiastic, creative, sociable, independent, perceptive, thoughtful, expressive and affectionate so pick up a Ukulele for them.
ISTJ's are quiet, practical, mystical, serious, reliable, idealistic, inspiring, proper, formal and are quiet and usually calm so it's a Harmonica in their stocking.  
ISFJ's are generous, dedicated, loving, warm and kind-hearted, considerate and nurturing so it is suggested they receive a Violin from Santa.
ESTJ's and an Accordion are the perfect match as ESTJ's are helpful, dependable, organised, practical and stable.
ESFJ's are extroverted and caring, sociable who like structure and stability and would love a woodwind instrument
ISTP's are bold, practical, mysterious, rational, logical, spontaneous and technical and would bloom with a bass guitar.
ISFP's are caring, flexible, charming, warm and friendly, spontaneous and fun and are best suited to a  flute.
ESTP's are spontaneous, smart, energetic, perceptive adventurist, observant, disciplined and action-oriented and are perfect for a drum set.
ESFP's are entertainers who enjoy being in the spotlight and have strong interpersonal skills are are spontaneous, artistic and  enthusiastic are are suited to an Acoustic guitar.

Obviously you would need to be certain before shelling out for a Piano or a Harp as well as having a soundproof room somewhere for all that drumming and electric guitar practise but you can't go wrong with an instrument.

ha ha, you refuse to learn don't you. MB is how people approach change. Just one, grant important, aspect of personality.

go ahead and ignore the "Big 5" aka OCEAN for fear of learning something

I don’t know which is why I ask other people. Struggle with that concept?

the best thing about this series of comments is now, even though you looked at OCEAN, aka the Big 5, you can't use it in your posts without acknowledging that i was right - which is probably harder for you than admitting you are wrong... ha ha ha, ha ha ha ha ha haaaaaaa

bah ha haaaaaa haa haaaa ha

life is indeed good

No idea what OCEAN is, I never looked it up or gave it a second thought as I have no interest in it. You obviously seem more excited about it so knock yourself out.
