The Best Approach to PlayStation for Every Personality type
If you have asked yourself how your personality depends on the way you play games, then you are not the only one. Your personality type can absolutely shape how you use the console, the PlayStation Store, and even the PlayStation Network whether you’re an absolute newcomer to PS5 or a veteran of PS4.
Without further ado, let’s explore the best ways for you to play your PS5 — or PS4 if you’re still rocking one of those things — based on your personality traits. Ready? Let’s go!
INTP: The Curious Explorer
INTPs are the thinkers, always exploring new ideas and solutions. When they get their hands on the PS5, they dive into open-world games that let them roam free and discover hidden secrets. Skyrim or Minecraft are perfect, because these games offer lots of flexibility and exploration.
Don’t forget to grab some casual games off the PlayStation Store for when you’re in the mood to unwind, but be warned – you might end up bending the rules in ways the game never expected.
Tip for INTPs: Take your time. There’s no rush. Just make sure you don’t wander off into the wilderness for too long that you forget to eat, or sleep. (But really, who sleeps anyway?)
ESTJ: The Commanding Leader
ESTJs thrive on structure, order, and getting things done. You’ll find them conquering strategy games or diving into action-packed games that require precision and focus. They like the challenge of organized multiplayer games, where they can show off their skills.
FIFA or Call of Duty on PlayStation 5 is ideal. They’ll play by the rules… unless they’re in charge of the game, then everyone better follow their lead.
Tip for ESTJs: Keep the PlayStation Network connections strong. You’ll want to create a squad of like-minded commanders. Winning is your business—and business is good.
INFP: The Dreamy Adventurer
INFPs are all about deep stories, creativity, and getting lost in beautiful, magical worlds. The PlayStation 5 library is perfect for them—Final Fantasy or The Last of Us Part II offer plenty of emotional depth. INFPs aren’t too focused on winning; they’re more about living the experience. They’ll spend hours exploring every nook and cranny of a game world just to find the perfect side quest.
Tip for INFPs: Don’t rush! Take your time, follow the story, and don’t forget to take a break before your controllers get jealous of your attention.
ENTP: The Creative Rebel
ENTPs love new ideas, challenges, and seeing how far they can push their creativity. The PS 5 is their playground, especially with games that let them make their own rules, like Grand Theft Auto V or any game with a strong emphasis on customization. They’ll thrive in RPGs and open-world games, always testing the limits and finding new ways to break the system (all in good fun, of course).
Tip for ENTPs: Don’t get too carried away with customization or you might lose track of time. It’s easy to spend hours picking out the perfect outfit for your character and forget you still have a pizza in the oven.
ISFJ: The Social Butterfly
ISFJ − You look out for others, so being the glue that holds people together is probably high on your list. For you, multiplayer games that allow you to connect with your pals is what makes your perfect PlayStation 4 experience.
Games where players are supporting, cheering, and simply chilling with their crew (think Minecraft / Rocket League / Fortnite) Where else could you go, besides the PlayStation Network — your own cozy and comforting place that promotes friendships and allows you to smother these sham pets with love?
ESTP: The Action Junkie
The ESTP is all about fast-paced action. You crave the rush of battles against other players, or at least some fast-paced action. That controller thing for the PlayStation 5?
When you are shredding in Tekken or Battlefield it is essentially an extension of your body. You relish a challenge, and choose games that are more about quick decisions and reflexes.
Tip for ESTPs: When you’re dominating in the action genre, don’t forget to take a breather. You might be quick on your feet in-game, but your legs probably need a stretch in real life.
ISFP: The Free Spirit
ISFPs dislike lots of regulations. They get to do it their way—and they do that with style. They’re drawn to the freedom, creativity, and beauty of games on PlayStation 5 like Journey or Horizon Zero Dawn.
This audience loves big beautiful worlds, the ability to walk around and most importantly something different. By no means are you to expect them to walk a singular path for too long.
Tip for ISFPs: Embrace the freedom of adventure games—but don’t wander so far that you forget where you were going in the first place. (You may not have a map, but a GPS wouldn’t hurt.)
ENTJ: The Ruthless Strategist
When an ENTJ gets their hands on PS5, they go straight for the strategic masterpieces. Civilization VI, XCOM, and StarCraft are their jam.
ENTJs need to feel like they’re always in control and making the big calls. They’ll have their PlayStation Store wish list ready for the latest strategy games, and if they’re not already in charge, they’ll soon be leading a team to victory.
Tip for ENTJs: If you’re the team leader, remember to delegate! Not every game needs to be a solo mission—sometimes teamwork makes the dream work.
Conclusion
No matter how you rock it, though, there’s something for everyone on the good old PS 5 (or PS 4 if you ain’t ready to give up that console just yet).
Strategist, gamer girl, or a social butterfly; whatever describes you will lead you to the right video game. Just don’t forget to have some fun — maybe avoid an all-night bender on the PlayStation Network, though.
As they say, the world is your oyster — and that shopping cart at the PlayStation Store is calling!
