Which MBTI types are more likely to get into art?

Painting, music, sculpture, architecture.

I imagine anyone can, but wonder if there is any correlation.

I have really no idea, but I guess, intuitive and feeling types?

What makes you think intuitives would be more likely to get into art?

I think all MBIT types can have interest in art, but I assume it's more common among SFPs and INFs , maybe ENFPs as well, less common among TJs, I find them to not be that appreciative for "some" arts and think it's a waste of time
I am very artistic ENFJ..

You need good imagination to be a good artist I suppose.

I just can't imagine ESTP Donald Trump writing a romantic play.

oh, I'm sorry... perhaps you didn't glance at my type? :huh:

but then again, you're indicating in another post here that you don't think that sensors have an imagination, so I'm guessing that you have A LOT to learn :)

<--- Daydreamer, avid writer, vivid imagination, ESFJ.

Please separate imagination from iNtuition in your mind. They are not one in the same. Hopefully you'll learn more about N/S as you continue to interact with the forum.

Oh God, the horror of it :rotfl:

My mom's ENTJ - and I love her artwork :wubbie: she has some sketches, paintings and embroidery of her own framed/hung up around the house.

Our entire family is also into music, despite the stark differences in our personalities. :) I sing and sometimes play the piano, and (for anyone who doesn't know) I also write poetry and short stories.

Definitely sensors are more artistically inclined. Art is a product.

SJ's have this Impressionism with Si.

Maybe NT's are the least inclined, but of course they could make works of art.

1. SFP
2. SFJ
3. STP
4. STJ
5. NFP
6. NFJ
7. NTP
8. NTJ

I think all MBTI types have the capacity to appreciate art and create works of art. However, I imagined that some types may find certain classifications of art less acceptable than others (SJs and conceptual/abstract art? Challenge me, I could be wrong.)

I have an appreciation for art, I'm sometimes left in awe by architecture (except for Brutalist buildings, yuck) and my wife (INTJ) has been studying for a Master's in Art History and creates artworks herself.

I like some conceptual art, though I prefer it have at least one concrete object in it. I dont see the appeal of paint splatters or a blue square. Gotta laugh at the invisible art though.

That's funny you say that, because I have a friend from high school who absolutely HATES conceptual and abstract art! I'm pretty sure she is xSFP. I on the other hand am xNTP and love abstract art! She's more into the classics, which I like too. Sort of funny, we would argue about why she thought it was horrible and why I thought it was great
