: A possible way of tellig Fours and Fives apart. (I found this split occurred between arts and science students at university; arts people preferring Lewis and science people preferring Tolkien.)
: Fours prefer C.S. Lewis esp.'The Chronicles of Narnia',
: While Fives prefer Tolkien's 'Lord of the Rings' stuff.
: Fives prefer a comlete Fantasy world that is self-contained and has no connection with our own world, while Fours like the Narnia books because there are doors leading to and from Narnia and in the end, it all comes together. A Five would probably not like the uncertainty of knowing that you could be on a train in our world, and then feel the train jolt and you're suddenly in Narnia. Or not knowing how much time had passed in Narnia since last leaving.
: I think Lucy was a Four, Peter a One, Susan a Two and Edmund a 6. I expect Bilbo Baggins was a Five. Hmmm, I'd be a 5 by your reasoning. What exactly about a fantasy world would a 4 *not* like? We probably live more in our minds and imaginations than any other type. The 5 would tend to lean more toward science fiction rather than fantasy. Both 4's & 5's can like both but I think the preferences are more fantasy for 4's and sci-fi for 5's. Ev
