Here’s the App You’d Be, Based On Your Myers-Briggs® Personality Type
Want something a little offbeat? Today we’re going to dive into the 16 Myers-Briggs® Personality types and the iPhone apps they’d manifest as if they were sucked into the digital dimension.

The ISTJ
Our resident “detective” would be the Calendar app. The ISTJ personality, always reliable and organized, is the human embodiment of the default iPhone calendar, perennially keeping track of important dates and reminding you of impending doom—I mean, deadlines.
The ISFJ
Our gentle, nurturing personality type would be the Health app. The ISFJ is the mom of the group, always concerned about everyone’s well-being, tracking sleep, hydration, and the number of steps you’re shamelessly not taking.
The INFJ
Nothing aligns better with the philosophically inclined INFJ than the Kindle app. Always in search of profound meaning and typically found nose-deep in a book, the INFJ is a vessel of knowledge and wisdom, much like your Kindle app.
The INTJ
Philosophical and logical, the INTJ would undoubtedly be the Stoic Quotes & Daily Motivation app. This app, with its daily nugget of wisdom, logic, and self-control, is the perfect digital manifestation of the INTJ’s love for all things practical and philosophical. Do they use it to win arguments at parties? Absolutely. Are they fun at these parties? Well — that’s a stoic “no comment”.
The ISTP
Of course the ISTP vigilante is the Flashlight. Just like the flashlight, ISTPs are handy, practical, and won’t bother you with unnecessary features.
The ISFP
Nothing fits our “artist” better than the Spotify app. Just like ISFPs, this app is all about expressing oneself through a rich tapestry of tunes, each carefully curated playlist a glimpse into their soulful depths.
The INFP
Then there’s the INFP, the idealist. They’re Medium, the thoughtful blog platform where they can wax philosophical about the mysteries of life, love, and why they always get stuck in the slowest grocery line. Because, let’s face it, the universe is out to get them.
The INTP
The app for our ceaselessly curious “Prodigy” is, of course, Wikipedia. INTPs are the human form of a Wikipedia rabbit hole, full of fascinating (and occasionally obscure) information.
The ESTP
Nothing fits the fast-paced, action-oriented life of the ESTP better than the Subway Surfers app. They live their lives like they’re permanently being chased by a grumpy railway inspector and his dog—high-speed, dodging obstacles, and collecting coins for no apparent reason.
The ESFP
would be TikTok. They’re the ones turning everyday moments into viral dance trends and lip-sync extravaganzas. But remember, underneath all those filters and flashy moves, they just want you to like them…like, literally hit the ‘like’ button.
The ENFP
For ENFPs, nothing quite suits them like Snapchat, the fun-loving, ephemeral drifter of the app universe. Like an ENFP, Snapchat is always in the middle of the action, capturing the highlights of life and sharing them with everyone. But, just like ENFPs, don’t expect it to keep a record of that 3am philosophical conversation you had. It’s onto the next big thing!
The ENTP
Twitter or X as it’s now called, is the perfect place for the ENTP to digitally manifest themselves. ENTPs love a good debate, and where better to find one than the battlefield of 280 characters?
The ESTJ
The Excel app is the perfect place for ESTJs to express their sense of order, structure, and numerical awareness. Nothing gets an ESTJ going quite like a color-coded spreadsheet. If they could, they’d organize their own dreams in descending order of frequency.
The ESFJ
Our gregarious, warm-hearted extroverts will be Facebook. Facebook, much like an ESFJ, loves keeping people connected, reminding you of birthdays, and insisting you want to know what your high school classmate had for lunch.
The ENFJ
The ENFJ would be the Holsom app. Holsom, if you’re not aware, is an app that encourages meaningful conversations (yeah, apparently we need an app for that now). ENFJs would masterfully orchestrate deep and impactful dialogues. Just picture it: “Ah, I see from your bio you enjoy cactus farming. Tell me, how does the silent resilience of a succulent in the harsh desert sun echo the human condition?”
The ENTJ
LinkedIn is the ENTJ’s playground. They’re always one connection away from world domination, or at least a C-suite position.

Great list! All seem perfect matches for their types.
Funny and kind of eerily true!
As an INTP I can affirm that Wikipedia is the perfect fit.
As an INFP, I would said that the platform Medium is just surprisingly related to me. Love it!
I think I’m an ISFJ now!, and I love the health app. I’ve lost 20 pounds in the last 3 months and I love tracking my progress :).
All of these apps are also evil in their own way, hence showing the dark side of each type. An interesting food for thought to ponder about if I say so myself.
