In which I discuss musical picks (links below) that I think somehow capture the spirit of something essential about each of the Keirsey temperament types / each of the quads of MBTI types with lots in common: The Idealists (NFs), The Artisans (SPs), The Rationals (NTs), and The Guardians (SJs).

How I would like you to play with me!

////////// Please post your own picks in comments! /////////

This one has 'Idealist' (NFs) written all over it:

This one about young-woman rebellion and adventure for the 'Artisans' (SPs) always cracks me up. It's very straightforward, pop, and exuberant (and slyly cheeky):

This one, 'pushing-it' in all kinds of unsettling yet catchy ways, has to be by one of the 'Rationals' (NTs):

This beaut and classic is a song very much from the worried p.o.v. of 'a good woman' -- a 'Guardian' (SJ):
