INFJ (2w1)
Father Zosima personality type is INFJ, because his spiritual self is stronger than his social self. He has never found any other way to be, so he won't change.
This is another 'what if' game. What if St. Zosima had never become a monk? We don't know what he would have done with his life, but it's safe to assume that he would have been a very successful engineer, because he has a well balanced psyche, which makes it easy for him to see the whole picture. He is not only an engineer, but also a spiritual man, who can see the bigger picture.
What if St. Zosima became an engineer but was not a monk?
By now, he would have grown up to be a very successful engineer, but his social self would be very weak. He could not make friends easily, or fall in love. His social self would be super vulnerable, and he would have no choice but to use his spiritual self to stay strong. The only way he could have stayed strong would have been through meditation.
He would have been a very lonely man, because his spiritual performance would have been so poor that he wouldn't have been able to make friends, or fall in love.
