A lot more rude, unagreeable and blunt than in the video game. Harlan Ellison wanted to highlight how the circumstances of the characters had degraded them to the worst versions of themselves. Ted is no exception. "Going deeper into Ted’s psychodrama, we find a lot of metaphor, but also a lot of symbolism. The psychodrama begins in “The Room of Dark”, a strange obelisk in the middle of a metallic cavern. Inside are a handful of TV screens. All but one shows images of Ted’s past. This serves to remind Ted that he cannot escape the truth (or AM’s gaze) while simultaneously informing the audience." "Ted feels alienated from his four companions and grows increasingly suspicious that they all secretly despise him because he is the youngest and least affected by AM. By his estimation, they are reprehensible and worthless: the other three men are “bastards” and Ellen is a “dirty b****” whose only redeeming quality is her role as the men’s sex object. Ted believes that he is the only one of the five who isn’t crazy or damaged, since AM hasn’t gotten into his head. But the reader can see that this clearly isn’t the case, given Ted’s ever-increasing paranoia and the extreme psychological distress he experiences from AM’s punishments, and so Ted is cast as an unreliable narrator." Ted not only feels alienated, but also "untouched" compared to his prisonmates. Though he views himself as different, he tries to ignore his perceived difference by making the argument that he is superior to the others, degrading them in his mind. Ted also lies about his past to both us and himself, in an attempt to construct an identity post-apocalypse. This could be a way to feel less shame. Ted's focus on superiority and intelligence when he is really just as tooled with as the others could be him trying to differentiate himself (E4). However, he seems to project as a 6 does, and much of his paranoia is fueled on the basis that the others are out to get him. For now, I am voting 468 as Ted's tritype. He places more focus on superiority than camaraderie. The self-preservation 4 places value on stoicism and being composed as a way to receive gratification, much like Ted does. MBTI is hard to discern; all of the characters are emotional wrecks due to their situation. Ted seems to be on the Se-Ni axis, especially in the end, when he views the others attacking each other over food and uses his direct observation to construct an epiphany; the only way to beat AM is for all of the prisoners to die. Fi could be the thing that makes Ted value his own musings and emotional torment above the collective effort to find food; he monologues aloud through tears at one point after an attempt to find food is thwarted by AM. Ted retreats into his emotions.
