Maybe it's because of the interpretation that I'm reading rather than his original works, but Epictetus seems overwhelmingly on the Fe-Ti axis (morals are rigidly, logically explained and defined; social interactions are framed in terms of harmony and one's duty to one another). I am less confident on the perceiving axis, but overall it looks like a struggle between the chaos of external events (Se) and the state of inner wholism that comes from not being bothered by them (which seems Ni to me). Plus, the relationship he describes between Fe and Ti is learning to Ti (have a rigid inner framework) to relieve a natural urge to Fe (moving according to the whims of society) Thus I voted for INFJ, Fe over Ti and on the Ni-Se axis. I would also consider the other Fe-Ti axis types with additional information, although the competition between Fe and Ti seems more conscious and therefore I find more likely to be the auxiliary and tertiary functions, compared to a dominant-inferior battle which tends to be conscious self against unconscious other.
Biografie
Epictetus (c. 55 – 135 AD) was a Greek Stoic philosopher. He was born a slave at Hierapolis, Phrygia (present day Pamukkale, Turkey) and lived in Rome until his banishment, when he went to Nicopolis in northwestern Greece for the rest of his life. His teachings were written down and published by his pupil Arrian in his Discourses and Enchiridion. Epictetus taught that philosophy is a way of life and not just a theoretical discipline. To Epictetus, all external events are beyond our control; we should accept calmly and dispassionately whatever happens. However, individuals are responsible for their own actions, which they can examine and control through rigorous self-discipline.
