Or play some sort of instrument?
I've noticed that a lot of EIE/IEIs that I've encountered in life (mainly at church) were involved with music.
INFps and ENFjs: are you musically adept?

Dont know if this is more common in Beta NF's, but I am classically trained in acoustic guitar. Am only playing it sometimes for fun now, though.
Most people on here will have some sort of musical ability in comparison to general population
I've played piano, bass, electric guitar and ukulele. Not really great at any of them but I enjoy playing, especially piano. I would love to be able to write my own music.
Yes.
I've known a lot of musicians, they come in lots of non-beta-nf types.
Cool stuff.
To those that answered, what would do you think is your motivation for playing music?
For example, for EIEs, is it being able to connect with the audience and having adoring fans??
For IEI, is being able to express your thoughts and feelings??
Things it's meant to me:
* a challenge to master
* patterning that makes me think better
* a place in my head I could escape to when things were shitty
* physical release
* a way to communicate
* a means to work with other people on a creative project
* a place to put excess emotion
* a connection with the history of western classical music
* intense sensual pleasure
Stuff like that.

musical style, practice habits, strengths/weaknesses might be type related. But being a good musician is not.

Yes they are

Dual type(as per tcaudilllg)
Enneagram 2w1sw(1w9) helps others to live up to their own standards of what a good person is and is very behind the scenes in the process.

I'm constantly looking to align the real with the ideal.I've been more oriented toward being overly idealistic by expecting the real to match the ideal. My thinking side is dominent. The result is that sometimes I can be overly impersonal or self-centered in my approach, not being understanding of others in the process and simply thinking "you should do this" or "everyone should follor this rule"..."regardless of how they feel or where they're coming from"which just isn't a good attitude to have. It is a way, though, to give oneself an artificial sense of self-justification. LSE

While I agree that types aren't not the end-all-be-all to be good musician,
I do believe that personality type does influence whether or not you play an instrument in the first place, and therefore be musically-adept down the line.
For example this statement:
Also, take a look at the data from another study (MacLellan, 2011):In his 1990 Ph.D dissertation, C.F. Gibbons of the University of Arkansas found that the INFP type was the most common among musicians
You can assume these types/people will continue practicing and therefore they'd get pretty good down the line.When compared to published high school norms (MBTI, 1998), the combined sample of
ensemble musicians was significantly more likely to be Intuitive (N), Feeling (F), and Perceiving (P).
So yeah, I think it's safe to say it can be type-related.

Uh the chart has ENFp outnumbering the other types by a long shot. Why does the first quote say INFp?

MBTI is the same thing that types scientists or quiet slightly unusual thinking types as INTx right
Seperate studies. I edited/clarified it. Table is with 2nd quote

I played violin until 7th grade. I was in school choir until then too.I also strummed a guitar for awhile but my hands were too small to really do anything with it so I got frustrated. Now I just play other people's music every chance I get and dance.

Sweet, what's your typing Aylen?I played violin until 7th grade. I was in school choir until then too.
"Erato is the muse associated with lyric poetry, with the lyre, with love poetry and hymns."
Apparently a type who takes her individuality so serious she encodes it.

Yes; I was in choir in HS, started playing guitar around senior year (and still do), and studied Piano, Music Theory, Sight Reading and Digital Music in college. Haven't found a use for any of it yet, but it's certainly a fun challenge to learn a new song; writing them, OTOH, is a totally different beast which I've yet to really become even an amateur at. I'd like to write some music for a video game some day, though.
Why is that
Yes.
