I also have only read bits of the books, as I mentioned in the blurb on Discord - and watched the series. It's possible that despite my better judgment, the series clouded my view on things. I should really read a few of the books to be sure that he writes like a Gamma and that it isnt the series swaying me in that direction. Maybe the…Read more

Looking more closely at Martin's vultology, I'm more confident now that signal-wise he qualifies as Fe, as per the current vultology code. Even when accounting for the variations that may exist in Te gesticulations, his is clearly Fe gesticulation. We can see this in GIFs such as:
