It's been ages since I read ROR, so I could be wrong, but -- Rowan strikes me as a total ISFJ. Si-Fe-Ti-Ne. (FYI: Most this analysis is based on the first book, because I honestly don't remember much about the others.)

His Si finds comfort in routine and the way things are, and his Fe wants acceptance. I don't see any inferior Te, nor do I see Ne as being higher than Si. I do see Ne used, but it's inferior. Rowan doesn't seek adventure or novelty or anything new and different. The one thing he does wish would change is people's view of him. He wishes they could respect and understand him and not view him as a "weakling" in their eyes. That seems like a Fe thing, not a Fi thing.

Si likes things the way they are. Si loves the routine of taking care of the bukshah. Si dwells on the past and the present and how they connect. Si dwells on Rowan's father. Si doesn't want Jiller to marry Strong Jonn. Si prompts Rowan to approach the dragon how he would approach the bukshah. Si is content and happy to return to the bukshah after the adventure. As an aux-Ne user, I can tell you: higher Ne would crave more external stimuli, more ideas, more activity, more change and variation of life. High Ne would see right through Sheba's rhymes and probably be intrigued by her mysterious powers. Ne would seek adventure. Si doesn't want it. And Si, being an introverted function, can be just as individualistic as Fi (if that's what you were basing your original typing on.)

Everyone else seems fine to me, but apologize -- I really don't remember enough of those books to give reliable input. By the way, what's your type?
