Oh right, I'm an oboist. Goes with the job I suppose!
Oboe 92%
trombone 83% (like the way they put that in lower case!)
Percussion 83%
Flute 75%
Tuba 67%
French Horn 67%
Viola 58%
Bassoon 58%
Cello 58%
Clarinet 50%
String Bass 50%
Trumpet 25%
Violin 17%
So I'm only half a clarinettist! Well, I did study both clarinet and double bass when I was at college, so 50% clarinet and 50% bass makes 100% of me.
Oh, did I mention I play sax as well? Or should I just keep that quiet!

Hmmm? 83% bassoon, 75% t-bone & Oboe, 67% F Horn & Tuba, . . . etc. . . down to lowest . . . 25% clarinet! So that's why I am so lazy and lousy on the clarinet!!
Inasmuch as I own a bassoon, t-bone, oboe, f-horn, & tuba, I would be better off practicing with one or more of them? Eu

Although I have certainly upped my experience in rebuilding piccolos in the last few months, both simple system and Boehms - as well as losing faith in the postal service (both UK and US) in the process!
I suppose my 75% flute score has to include piccolo in there too.

After reading the first couple of questions I randomly filled out the remainder of the test - and it came out 83% clarinet. The next closest instrument was under 60%. For scientific purposes I should try it again to see if the result would change, but I'm retired and no longer into acting like I do something useful.

Since I can barely play the clarinets anyway, maybe it's time to sell them and get an oboe. Hmmm...
Oh look, I see in today's paper that Walmart is having a store-wide sale on hunting items. Do you think I could get a head-start practicing my new embouchure on a duck call?

Ooh--
92% Viola--but I can't read tenor clef!!!
75% Clarinet--I guess this explains why I can only play 75% of the notes! And all this time I thought it was from playing on unbalanced reeds.
17% String bass--good thing this one's low on my list--it doesn't fit underneath the airplane seat (although nowdays even a clarinet doesn't)

---------------------
Means that the test is completely unscientific.
But we all knew that 
The questions are "interesting". Maybe if one of them had been "are you neurotic?" not many of us would have ended up scoring high on oboe.

If you all check out the other "tests" on the site, you will see just how unscientific the whole thing is. Some of these sound like they were put together by 10 yr. olds. Since I actually play clarinet and don't play tuba, I would go out on a limb and call myself 100% clarinetist not a tubaist.

On the Mary Shelley episode of 'The Mark Steel Lectures' he did a scenario of when Frankenstein's monster met the blind man that played the flute - the blind man was then seen playing a drum with two flutes as sticks!

I am wondering - has anyone figured out what "type" of person and characteristics "make" you a clarinetist according to this test? I tried to make it come out clarinet, and the highest I scored so far was 33%. Maybe if we can unlock this mystery, we'll know it's not just our reeds!

He had 50% and I had something like 25%.
My highest was trombone. TROMBONE!!! I never ever wanted to play trombone...and having tried both trumpet and tuba, I can say with assurance that I do NOT have whatever it takes to play a brass instrument!

What a load of rubbish!
It makes me out to be a bass player. Yet my brain, in spite of a lot of effort, can barely pick out a bass part, let alone relate it to chords and progressions in any sort of non-academic way, which is no doubt why I resorted to playing melody instruments.

Hopefully it's not treating those around you like Benny Goodman was notorious for doing. Or being married as many times as Artie Shaw. Or putting up for years with George Szell.
Off to my first beginning oboe lesson ...

Just as a bit of mucking about, I tried answering all the questions in the extreme. If you select all the humblest, non-individual self-effacing options, you come out 100% clarinet. This test does not describe any clarinet player I know. Unsurprisingly, if you select all the most out-going, arrogant, to-hell-with-anyone-else options, you end up a trumpet player.

Thank you Mike Clarinet! ^0^
I actually wondered what was the rationale (if there's any) behind the wordings of the questionnaire.
It was so fun, but I don't think it merits too much of serious consideration.
BTW, trombone was the highest for me. Huh!

92% Bassoon
75% Tuba
67% Clarinet & Viola
58% French Horn, Oboe & Flute
Everything else 50% or less.
String Bass only 33% although I played for a good while.
Didn't even register on saxophone. Maybe it wasn't an option.
Interesting test. Thanks David!

Just took the test twice:
1st time checked all agree (last choice) came out a tuba.
2nd time checked all disagree (1st choice) guess what? I'm still a tuba
anybody want to buy some slightly used reeds?

I came out as 87% a bassoonist which is an instrument I love the sound of but I have never seriously considered playing but only 33% a clarinettist (with lots of other instruments in between) .
To talk seriously, the test has at least one major drawback - it is only talking about the personality aspects of suitability for the instrument which, while they are important, are not the only consideration. For example, the biggest reasons that I would not have thought about the bassoon are that it costs so much and weighs so much to carry around on my fairly small frame and I also doubt whether my hand reach is big enough. As for all the people who seemed to be suited to the oboe, one of the big deciding factors between oboe and clarinet (or so I've heard) is the thickness of the lips and size of the mouth. Obviously there will be exceptions that prove the rule but there is no denying that physical characteristics play some part in suitability for an instrument.
In any case, let's not allow some test sway us from our instrument - if any friends ever ask me about which instrument they or their children should play, I tell them that there are all sorts of things to take into account and books to read etc but the biggest guide of all is which instrument you love!

I tied between horn, tuba, and violin (75%)--I think have years of playing Rose etudes and band transcriptions of orchestral pieces to blame for this. I think I'm a violinist. :-)
Clarinet 42%. (Second lowest score)
Percussion 17% (Lowest score)

LOL, I'm a Hornist!! Clarinet was a distant #4. Not surprising, however, as horn was my "secondary" instrument in college. My UW-Madison horn instructor--the late, great, John Barrows (of NY WWQ fame)--said I should have been a horn player and even offered to give me an instrument (an old Alexander double) if I switched majors from the clarinet. Our horn quartet (I played second, I think) played a couple of concerts and I can still "get around" on horn pretty well. So maybe this test has some validity and should be used to screen and guilde beginning band students to their choice of instrument. Given to me, "way back then", it might have saved me from dealing with those recent--and still terrible--V12 flowpacks.
[hmmmm....maybe there's a Conn 10D waiting for me on eBay]

Dang 100% Bassoon it says. 33% clarinet, 0% trumpet. I guess the trumpet part holds true.

Did it twice. came out a cellist both times. Clarinet was well down the list. And at one time I decided if I was to ever take up a string instrument it would be cello. Dark secrets??
