I relate a lot more with the 2w3 description than the 2w1.
Well, at least one spot suggests a link between Two and INFP. But yeah, one isn't a lot.

More importantly, they describe both wings for each type in a fair amount of depth. If you weedle me a bit, I might be flattered into typing out a few of the core differences between your type's two wings. Off the top of my head, I remember reading that fives with a four wing were more emotional and more drawn to art, whereas fives with a six wing were more endearingly socially awkward? I can't quite remember, but that's vaguely what I recall.
Of course books are always better than this stuff, but they cost money and take up space.
