    You worry too much about the appearance of a lack of objectivity. I've never heard of most of the characters on your list. Is it so strange to think that an LII would be drawn to fiction with LII/Alpha main characters? There's enough fiction in the world for all of us.

    I suppose not, but it is something which I know that I would be suspicious of if I saw it. I will add Ged back to the list then.

    I know you would. That's why I said that what I did.

    Why would you be suspicious of being drawn to characters from your own quadra? That confuses me, or perhaps I am misinterpreting.
    But, for a certainty, back then,
    We loved so many, yet hated so much,
    We hurt others and were hurt ourselves...

    Yet even then, we ran like the wind,
    Whilst our laughter echoed,
    Under cerulean skies...

    But that's the question. Am I projecting myself on these characters and saying that they are Alpha or are they really Alpha? I am worried about the possibility of the subjective bias in making judgments in which self-identification is inherent. (Perhaps this comes from weak Fi.)

    I don't fully get it either, but he's criticized me for typing characters as Gamma too often, and I've explained that I'm simply more likely to make topics about shows I like, and I'm more likely to like shows with Gamma main characters. I've never even heard of most of the stuff he likes, so I don't see what's so strange about thinking that the characters each of us exposes ourselves to the most are ones from our own quadras.

    Anyways, there are only 16 types... given the amount of fictional literature on the planet, I'd say it's likely that there is a very large selection of stories with each of our identicals as main characters. And this topic is about which characters you identify with.
