A couple of thoughts:

Riso has cautioned that his test, despite revamping, still can cause some
women to score too high as Twos, due to strong societal/spousal/parental
pressure to act "Twoish", so I wouldn't worry about that one too much.

Second, dontbelieveaword about Riso's wing theory-while yes the majority of
the time your wing will be adjacent to the main type, it doesn't have to
be. I knew a guy who almost certainly was an 8w4-sensitive, eclectic,
brooding and introverted, but his core motivation was to control his loved
ones (which often caused him to push them away), so deep down he was an
Eight methinks. Also have known a 9w5 and some other weird combos...

For a Four, Five and Nine are highly compatible wings, Seven, Two and Six
less so, and 1,3 & 8 not really (tho you never know as I just indicated!).
Hope this helps!
