iPhoneanalysis

What does your iPhone reveal about you? I'm not talking about all the personal data or the accidental phone calls or even the unintentional photos. I'm referring to the home screen on your iPhone. Here's mine.

 

Let's start with the Dock. What are the four apps? What order are they in?

1) Phone - This is a phone after all, isn't it.

2) Mail - What would life be without email? (Showing my age, aren't I)

3) Google - Oh great Google, let me ask you a question.

4) Calendar - What I'm supposed to be doing instead of posting to this blog?

Next up is the bottom row. That doesn't sound right, oh well.
Text - above Phone, both communication apps. My kids respond to text, don't answer the phone.
Gmail - above Mail, OK, makes sense
Voice Dialer - above Google Search, both voice and search. Starting to see a pattern?
Facebook - above Calendar, meeting and connecting with people, OK

Above the bottom row. This is where things start to become a little less clear. My priority apps shift to the right side and move up. Twitterrific, Weather, Stocks (used to be not such a priority, now used to determine mood)

Then I shift back to the left side. Google Maps (How did I get here?), iTunes (mostly used while on the train or when cleaning the house, in other words, infrequently), Camera.

Top row, not covered by sides. Photos, very light use. Safari, I tend to use bookmarked shortcuts or just Google it.

Interior four. Calculator, Settings, Contacts (tend to use Voice Dialer) and Evernote. Handy to have on home screen, no particular priority, not related to adjacent apps.

In a nutshell, no comments please.
Highest priority apps in the Dock, left to right, followed by the bottom row, then the right side, then the left side, then the four in the center, last but not least, or are they, the two apps at the top center. In general the upper left is less important and lower right more important. Or should I say more frequently used? Beyond the home screen is best saved for another post. I've already revealed more about my psyche than I should have.

How much can we learn about a person by examining their iPhone home screen? More than reading their palm, no pun intended (pre Pre). Do they organize the apps in some sort of left to right, bottom to top priority? Or do they just let them fall where they may in a free spirited artistic display of their personality. What Freud could have done with iPhoneanalysis.
