I don't have any names off the top of my head, but I've seen many test results where the adjacent types had very low scores. It doesn't appear that an adjacent wing plays any major role in their personality.

However, in defense of the adjacent wing theory, a fair majority had their highest score in a type next to their main type. The odds of scoring second highest in a non-adjacent type is much greater (out of 9 possible types, there are 6) than an adjacent type (2 out of 9). So this means that a person should score second-highest in a non-adjacent type THREE times more often. Yet the results contradict it! At least 80% of people had an adjacent wing.

Let me be first to offer a caveat on this though. I did not have many test results (a little over a dozen) and how you score on a TEST doesn't necessarily say how much of a type you are. So I don't have anything conclusive as of yet, just some possibilities and theories. But, with a little research and a little time, I will come up with something solid.
