ticky, ticky, tickybox: characters, identifying, all that

Please note the use of tickyboxes: you may always, always tickybox more than one thing, and if they appear to be contradicting each other, it is all part of life's rich pageant, right? Explain or elaborate in comments, please.

Also please note in the second set of questions: identifying with someone based on a factor does not necessarily mean that you share that factor. If you're more likely to identify with math geeks despite being terrible at math yourself, or with Turkish characters despite being Hopi yourself, or whatever, go ahead and tickybox away.
