It’s a stupid reason but I think he’s INFJ because he played Bach’s Cello Suite No. 4 the most naturally and insightfully of anyone, and I typed both that suite and the key of E-flat major as INFJs. (Also, I relate to that suite most of all, hence my username). https://youtu.be/JJk2RxGad5o If you don’t have time for the whole suite, or if you are unfamiliar with it, and you find the prélude difficult to appreciate, (which is probably why the INFJ—I mean Suite No. 4—is hard to get to know), you could listen to the gigue at 23:14... it is unbelievable.
