High Priestess
@Muddytextures i'm not saying you're not ILI (i don't have an opinion on your type), but i'd be careful about typing yourself ILI just because you play video games all day and don't socialize. i think a lot of shut-ins and/or depressed people could relate to this. in fact, if you're not going out into the "real world" that often, it's likely you'll have less interactions with others, and you'll have fewer relationships. a key part of socionics is communication and intertype relations - this is when you really see information compatibility (or lack thereof) come into play. so if you're not experiencing these things regularly, you might be missing out on experiences that would help you better determine your type.
your mom's description doesn't necessarily sound ESE, btw. any other Ej temperament (or another type entirely) could work just from the little info your shared. sorry, i only express this doubt because ever since i've been on this forum, it seems extremely typical for people to decide that their mother is an ESE, typically for unflattering reasons. for some reason it's like the throwaway type for people who are annoyed with their mothers. so i get skeptical 
regarding Gamma quadra, i don't think characterizing the entire quadra as "businesslike" is what the descriptions are really trying to capture.
= external situation of objects,
= external activity of objects. Gamma is the only quadra that values two External + Extraverted elements. so together they result in this focus on the material aspect, or the hard "reality" of things, manipulating and using it to one's advantage.
in quadra progression, Gamma is described as a quadra of reform that implements their vision, moving resources and information, making things useful and productive again from a previously unsustainable or stagnant system. hence Gamma's association with mercantilism, business/money, etc., because that's how these values often manifest themselves in the "real world". admittedly this is a macro-level theory in socionics, and might not apply so well to the individual.
also, you say you don't like large social interaction - i'm pretty sure not all Alphas and Betas necessarily enjoy it either, so i wouldn't automatically associate this with Fe. you might get more relevant info on this by looking at people's instinct stackings.
