Yes, they should be merged. The circumplex idea comes from Leary, not from Wiggins (or many others). It should credited to Leary with the appropriate history put up fron in the interpersonal circumplex entry. cscrandall 19:48, 16 April 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Christiancrandall (talk • contribs)

I also agree. The idea has been used in a number of instances, all prior to Wiggins, including in published psychological instruments. This article should also reference Bakan (The duality of human existence: Isolation and communion in Western man, 1966). Another use is the Kaiser & Kaplan forceful-enabling approach to evaluating leadership. Though not specifically expressed as such, it can be seen as a particular case of the Leary Circumplex, and as far as I recall, it was developed separately from Wiggins, though slightly after.
