There's such a bond between you and your MacBook that it's possible to read your personality just from how you use the trackpad! The organization of your folders, the apps in your dock, even your notification preferences—they're all part of your digital identity.
Have you ever noticed? Some of us open 42 tabs in Safari as soon as we turn on our MacBook (yes, I see you!), while others don't want to see a single file on their desktop. For some, the Touch Bar is a must, while others still miss the F keys...
What Digital Personality Type Do You Have?
The habits of hundreds of MacBook users observed in offices, cafes, and coworking spaces were examined, and interesting digital personality types emerged. From those with dozens of tabs open in Safari to those who don't want to see a single file on their desktop, from Touch Bar customization masters to keyboard shortcut virtuosos...
