When "than" is used as a preposition, whatever follows must be in the object form: him/her, them, me/us...

She is more likely than (me/him/us/them) in planning.
It's the same rule regardless of the preposition:
She is more likely to follow (me/us/him/them) because whatever...

Are you sure you typed the 1st sentence right? it looks a little weird to me.

what's the real source here? this is obviously not from the gmat, since the gmat NEVER includes first- or second-person pronouns. i.e., NO gmat SC problem will ever involve "i", "you", "we", "us", "me", "my", "your". never.

in any case, though, the deciding factor here is just idiomatic usage.
likely in VERBing is not idiomatic
likely to VERB is idiomatic

pronoun case is a non-issue here, since the pronouns are in the same case anyway.

Hi capnx,

I think Brick2009 is asking about the second part of sentence. "to plan" or " in planning".

Regards,
Viju
"Native of" is used for a individual while "Native to" is used for a large group
