I really don't have faith in VI. It's just fun to speculate on little to no data, I guess.

I think VI can point toward or away from something, but isn't even that useful for adults. I think it's probably slightly less useful even for kids. Kids have very distinct personalities, but kids have a childishness to them obviously, and that could point people in the wrong direction.
Some people will say that any typing of kids is impossible, or even dangerous (lol), and I certainly disagree with that. I was pretty sure my daughter was ENFp by 3 or so, and I'm quite sure the little girl across the street is ISTj. Or maybe ESTp, but probably ISTj.
I think my daughter probably does generally VI as ENFp, but even then, as an example, here are three photos and each photo could lead someone to a different impression of her type (please don't quote because I will take these down at some point):

It ain't what you don't know that gets you into trouble. It's what you know for sure that just ain't so.-Mark Twain
You can't wake a person who is pretending to be asleep.
yeah me too.
err but then I get confused because some people of the same type that I've observed have such similar mannerisms and stuff.
Bleh i dunno but I would never trust V.I. alone to determine someone's type.
You're right about the fun part tho...it's kinda like playing the board game "Guess Who" but with real people.
