My "other" explanation for question 1 is actually an explanation for the "virtues" choice. Because I have been historically low in self-esteem, I more quickly identify flaws in myself than I do virtues, and thus initially dismiss the commonalities between my traits and the character's traits. However, I do find that when I am more objective about myself, the characters with whom I identify do share virtues with me as well.
