Beta is a collectivist quadra due to Fe valuing, despite any rhetoric to the contrary they form disciplined collectives united towards common goals. Jamie wants to be part of something greater than him such as the Kingsguard, yet he is rebellious against it due to other reasons, Kingslaying. Jamie most certainly cares a lot about honor and duty, but because of his relationship with his sister is insecure about his place in the world. Jamie is also a loner but socially active, he has no relationships except his family, otherwise all he has is comrades in arms.
Thinking about his development in the books it sounds right that he is SLE and not SLI. But my SLI typing was not based on stereotypes but on misconeption of Jamies motivation.

Do you think in general that types with "developed" creative IE are more mature?
