Are the ENTJ and ESTJ are still the best matches in pschologists choice for infps and isfps ? If yes , Someone needs to change it , This match made in hell , and it is not going well usually ( ENTJ - INFP , ESTJ - ISFP ) Someone need to change it and did they changed it already ?

There is no "official" best match in typology, different people have different opinions. The ENTJ/INFP and ESTJ/ISFP matches are David Keirsey's opinion on the subject. What do you mean when you say someone needs to change it? And what makes you say these matches do not go well, personal experience?

Most precents of ISFPs do not go well with an ESTJs and INFPs not with an ENTJs , Because of it if it is official then someone needs to change it , Are u sure that t isn't official because i saw it written in to many sights ?

The idea was that people are attracted to those strong in their inferior function. As such, Fi doms could be attracted to Te doms.

Others have argued that people are compatible with those with an oposite dominant function, Fi doms to Fe doms, etc.

I definitely feel a strong pull to Fi doms and am married to an ISFP. But it isn't easy. I would likely be more compatible with a FJ, but attraction and love are not always about compatibility.

There is no such thing as official typology matches, only theories of compatibility. Level of health and ability to compromise/empathize are far more important.

My theory (if anyone cares) is you as an individual are potentially compatible with another individual of any type. The odds are probably favorable/less favorable depending on type but not impossible. I could end up doing well with an ENTJ but I bloody doubt it based off of common traits. Yet somewhere there is an ENTJ woman (okay more than just one) I'd hit it off with. It isn't as simple as putting a personality bracelet on everyone and matching them up at a party. There are unique people under those four letter descriptions.

AGREED. A person is more than his or her type, and to limit romantic possibilities to type narrows your relationship pool considerably.

If you've had bad dating experiences with a certain type, it would be a good idea to keep that in mind while moving forward with someone, but a bad idea to shut that person out completely based solely on his or her type.

I would be irritated and hurt if someone who was interested in me stopped the pursuit just because he found out I was an INFP. That would mean that he judged me by a very broad standard, like a standardized test, and deemed me unfit for dating based on textbook type definitions. Not cool, hypothetical pursuer. Not cool.

Even INFJ Is In duality with ESTJ According to socionics , And also isfj with entj and enfj with istj ; Most of the socionics choices aren't true

Never true at all? If you were to create your own system of best matches, how would you do it?

Worked fine for me.

But people are complex and many factors go into choosing a mate.

For me ISTP(socionics) and INTJ (mbti) are typically spot on. It is definitely easy to have a mutual attraction there. But given a different life, i could definitely see ENF and ISFP, for example, aswell.
