[spoilers] not 100% sure what his dominant function would be, but he definitely doesn't use Fe that's for sure. he's terrible at understanding what people actually want/need and accurately responding to that. he totally misread what lorelai wanted when they got married - by trying to buy her, giving the impression that's what she wanted. and I know that he realised later that she still has feelings for Luke, but even that was obvious, he didn't need to read a character reference for that. and even just assuming that that was a love letter, something's gotta be off with his fe, because the purpose of that reference was to convince that luke is great. just the way he became so controlling when they got married screams terrible use of Fe. when he ruined that knit-athon, anyone could tell that lorelai wanted to stay and knit to hang with her friends, but he ruined it because he wanted her all for himself. I think he tried to plan for the future in this scenario. tried to plan a family future with lorelai and Rory, but it just didn't work. he might be insecure with Ni, so he probably doesn't plan thoroughly, so he uses the present world to take off & disappear (se). if he is se-dom, I would say that he is different to Logan (who I believe to be ESTP). while Logan uses se to solve se problems logically (e.g., "Rory is attracted to this man, I know she loves me, so that must mean she just has a little crush"), Christopher, however, solves problems according to his beliefs and wishes. for example, "lorelai is happy here, happy with me on this trip in France, she will want to marry me, which works out for me bc I love her and I no longer have to be jealous of Luke." The belief that he and lorelai are made for each other is so engraved into him (fi) that he feels he has to keep her under his control by keeping her on her toes (e.g., proposal, asking for a baby, asking to move away) in hopes of keeping her from getting bored. so I think he's ESFP. these controlling types of guys are my worst nightmare - but being a controlling person has nothing to do with mbti, I just analysed his functions. ugh, and how much he tried to gaslight her? that was painfully obvious. I think it comes from how he thinks he would feel in that situation, and then focus that on her, so I think that is more fi than fe.
