If You Want to Win the Heart of Your Ideal Mate, Do the Following:
For ISTPs:
*Talk less and do more--the more spontaneous you are, the better.
*Join them in their favorite high-thrill hobbies such as jet skiing, kayaking, or parachuting.
*Show appreciation for their hands-on skills as they tinker with a '65 Mustang, practice on a Fender Stratocaster guitar, or bake delicious homemade brownies.
*Give them plenty of independence and space; allow them to come to you when they are ready.
For ESTPs:
*Join them on any of their favorite fun activities: dancing, gambling, diving, jet skiing, and so on.
*Don't be overly possessive: they love to flirt and can't stand anyone who doesn't allow them to be social.'
*Put your foot down, however, when they are being too flirtatious; they respect a mate who won't let them get away with excessive extra-curricular flirting that may lead to an affair.
*Encourage them to do what they do best: entertain you and make you laugh until you cry.
For ENFJs:
*Don't make them jealous; when you're with them (especially in the beginning of the relationship), don't be overly attentive of other attractive people.
*Provide plenty of verbal affection.
*Make sure you are on time for your dates.
*Show respect and support for their strongly held opinions, beliefs, and preferences.
For ISFPs:
*Talk softly and slowly so you don't scare this gentle creature.
*Share activities with ISFPs that revolve around their favorite things: children, the arts, animals, and nature.
*Don't over compliment them--they may take your words as hype or insincerity.
*Give them simple, heartfelt gifts such as homemade cards, fruit baskets, or embroidered pillows.
*Spend a lot of time with them in the outdoors.

I'm an ISTP, my wife's an ESTJ. We've been married 4 years now and we seem to fit pretty well. We do have some conflicts between our P and J sides, but I think sharing the logical T and down to earth S personality traits really helps us see eye-to-eye on most things. Plus her extroversion helps my social life.

These are recommended matches for ISTP according to socionics.

ISTP +

Attractive relations:
+ ENFJ - Duality description is under LSI-EIE
+ INFJ - Activity Relations
+ ESFJ - Semi-duality Relations
+ ENTJ - Mirage relations
+ INTJ - Benefit relations where ISTP is benefactor and INTJ is beneficiary
+ ISFJ - Benefit relations where ISFJ is benefactor and ISTP is beneficiary

Medium level relations:
+ ESTJ - Extinguishment Relations
+ ESTP - Mirror Relations
+ INTP - Kindred Relations
+ ISFP - Business Relations
+ ISTJ - Quasi-identical Relations
+ ISTP - Identity Relations

Difficult relations:
+ ENFP - Conflict Relations
+ INFP - Superego relations
+ ENTP- Supervision-relations where ENTP is supervisor and ISTP is supervisee
+ ESFP - Supervision-relations where ISTP is supervisor and ESFP is supervisee

These compatibilities are based on correspondence in cognitive functions: you and your romantic partner will find it easier to understand each other if your jungian types have all or at least some of the cognitive functions in common.

Profiles of erotic attitudes.

Jungian type is not the only factor that influences compatibility. Enneagram type and instinctual stackings also hold their sway.

Are you sure? I thought enfp was dual?

Are you sure? I thought enfp was dual?

Quite sure. Take a look at ISTP's and ENFJ's cognitive functions: ISTP is Ti,Se,Ni,Fe while ENFJ is Fe,Ni,Se,Ti. It's exact same ones in reverse.

ISTPs and ENFPs are in relations of conflict, but don't despair! It doesn't mean that they will always fight but they won't easily understand one another.

[AndreaENFP]

Well I guess that's a good shift...i couldn't imagine it at all. I'm confused then as to which type enfp is dual with if not istp? As rare and hard to find as a magical unicorn, no doubt.

I'm confused then as to which type enfp is dual with if not istp?

ENFP is Ne Fi Te Si -> dual would be Si Te Fi Ne… ISTJ?

I read a couple of those. Honestly, it sounds like a lot of bullshitting. It's theorycraft and that's all it is. The statements about duality and mirrored and same type whatever really does sound like a bunch of people decided to write a bunch of nonsense. I can't help but doubt anything stated

At first i was thinking "yea, makes sense" but as i kept reading on, i doubted more and more

In MBTI the J/P dichotomy means Dynamic/Static in Socionics and that makes the MBTI ISTJ an ISTp in Socionics.

Dynamic (temporal, time)
Static (spatial, space)

Ji Pe (Ti, Fi, Se, Ne) Types are Statics and Je Pi (Te, Fe, Si, Ni) Types are Dynamics.
Isabel Myers Briggs used the auxiliary function for Introverts because the auxiliary is an extroverted one.
N/S function are (p) perceiving/irrational
T/F functons are (j) judging/rational

ISTp/ISTJ (Si Te Fi Ne)
ISTj/ISTP (Ti Se Ni Fe)
