Your Myers-Briggs Song Match & Music Genre
The Architect - INTJ-A/INTJ-T
Your Song: “Sounds of Silence” by Simon & Garfunkel
As an Architect personality, you spend tons of time thinking, and you actually enjoy spending time solo. In fact, thinking is your jam. You like to let your thoughts guide you toward theories and ideas as to why life is what it is.
“Sounds of Silence” by Simon & Garfunkel offers up a tune where you can truly sit, think, and ponder as you do. So, what does this make your genre? Folk-rock gives you enough energy while also letting you do what you love.
The Logician - INTP-A/INTP-T
Your Song: “Bohemian Rhapsody” by Queen
The Logician is a creative and problem-solver that emphasizes logic. With a love for patterns, you might actually even be into writing, composing, or producing. Yet, your jam of choice is rock music. You love the experimental side to this beat, and it goes a lot with your rebellious nature.
And with that, “Bohemian Rhapsody” is your song. You can even look for patterns within it. It’s also one of the best rock songs of all time.
The Commander - ENTJ-A/ENTJ-T
Your Song: “What a Wonderful World” by Louis Armstrong
The Commander isn’t easily phased.
Challenges are opportunities. Problems? Those don’t exist! Your confidence and charisma are what draw people to you. And this matches so well with the good ol’ music genre called jazz.
Your song? Try out “What a Wonderful World” by Louis Armstrong. While you might come across a bit as uncaring at times, this song definitely isn’t, and it might just show your true colors.
The Debater - ENTP-A/ENTP-T
Your Song: “Come Together” by The Beatles
The Debater is objective, rational, and logical. With big ideas, you love to solve problems, and you also probably love to argue about what is “true” rock. Thus, your genre is rock, and you tend to fall for the classics, like Elvis and The Beatles.
With your big idea nature, your song is “Come Together.” Throw it on and rock out!
The Advocate - INFJ-A/INFJ-T
Your Song: “Smells Like Teen Spirit” by Nirvana
As the Advocate, you are a rarity, with only 1% of the world’s population making up your personality type (but don’t let that go to your head!). On an innate level, you love thoughtfulness and profound ideas. Your imagination can run wild.
You are also very cause-oriented, which drives you to turn toward more revolutionary music styles, like Nirvana.

The Mediator - INFP-A/INFP-T
Your Song: “Basket Case” by Green Day
As the Mediator, you often tend to sway toward morality, virtue, honor, and beauty. And unfortunately, this frequently means that you suppress negative emotions. But this also means that you need an outlet to let all of it out. Music is wonderful for this!
To blow off some steam, blast some punk rock!
The Protagonist - ENFJ-A/ENFJ-T
Your Song: “What’s Going On” by Marvin Gaye
The Protagonist finds beauty where others don’t. They like helping others and connecting. In truth, you cherish and find enjoyment out of all types of music genres.

The Campaigner - ENFP-A/ENFP-T
Your Song: “Don’t Stop Believin’” by Journey
The Campaigner is a free spirit and enjoys the company of others. You love casual environments and are truly driven by your feelings. While you’d get along great with the blues music genre (you could definitely tune into all those feels!), your song is “Don’t Stop Believin’” by Journey.
This song is one that you can belt out any day of the week and really drives your positive nature upwards.
The Logistician - ISTJ-A/ISTJ-T
Your Song: “Lean On Me” by Bill Withers
The Logistician personality can be summed up in a few words: calm, reliable, and responsible. You might come off as uptight, but you are someone that everyone can rely on. And that, my friend, is truly powerful!

The Defender - ISFJ-A/ISFJ-T
Your Song: “Rolling in the Deep” by Adele
Also known as the nurturer, the Defender offers up kindness and warmness. You are open to others’ feelings and try to keep an open mind - at least, most of the time! You also tend to really like orderliness. Thus, these components of your personality can clash from time to time.
You love traditional-style music with wide vocal ranges. Or if you don’t love it, you can find that beauty in it. Thus, your song is with our gal, Adele. Throw on “Rolling in the Deep,” and you’ll start singing along and dancing along in no time.
The Executive - ESTJ-A/ESTJ-T
Your Song: “Can’t Tell Me Nothing” by Kanye West
While the Executive personality is loyal, patient, and stable, you are great at following instructions, and you put in the effort in every realm. In a way, you have a lot in common with Kanye in terms of work ethic. At the same time, you’ve got not a lot in common with this artist.
However, rap and hip-hop offer up a genre that provides an outlet to do the opposite of what you normally would. “Can’t Tell Me Nothing” by Kanye West is your jam!
