This seems to be on the right track in terms of seeking an analytical perspective, but the problem with these kinds of approaches is that too often they fail to take a step back and check if their operational definitions are really getting at the essence of the type concepts they're seeking to model.
Many composers are loud and blaring in one piece, but soft-spoken in another. Does that mean that they switched personality? Or, going away from the music arena for a moment, do extraverts not speak softly sometimes? Is it unheard of for introverts to proclaim their view loudly? Do these switches in vocal dynamic level necessarily mean a change in Socionic functional perspective? And if someone does both, does that make the person is a dynamic type as opposed to static?
On the contrary, it seems to me that one could possibly be soft in an extraverted way, or loud in an introverted way, or in other words, how far the volume knob is cranked up doesn't get to the essence of the type IMO.
