Whatever they enjoy - because they enjoy it.

ISTJ... played tenor sax in the school band from 4th thru 12th grades. Enjoyed it and was technically proficient but it never really felt like a "natural" thing for me... it always took work to be proficient. I put the horn in the case when I graduated high school and never touched it again.

Honestly, once I got to high school, the prime reason I was motivated to stayed involved with the band (and associated color guard, twirlers, flag team, etc) was more as a social outlet than anything. Every girl I ever dated came out of that group, including my wife.

Well, I can say, based entirely on my personal experience, that one of the INFJs in this world happens to play the alto sax. That person, interestingly enough, also happens to bear a striking resemblance to myself. In fact, there is a very good chance that the person in question is in fact me. So, yeah. Alto sax. Saxy.
