I'm starting to suspect that this quiz is flattering everyone into believing that we are truly oboes at heart, because I--like Steve, Alex, and M.C.--have also come up with that match. My actual instruments of long, long ago, violin and viola, came up as a sorry 50% fit. Then again, if only I had had this quiz to guide me to my rightful fate...
And somebody alert the real oboist in my family (the one who's currently serving as second oboe in the CSO, thankyouverymuch).
ETA: MMFCC, a man who "owns trumpets," was horrified to discover his matchings: bassoon - 92%; violin 83%; horn/oboe 75%; trumpet/trombone 58%. Quite candidly, I think he found the violin match-up particularly upsetting.
