Mappers vs. Packers
Authored by: greed on Saturday, May 05 2012 @ 05:42 PM EDT
Thank you, I had been aware of the distinction but had forgotten the terms
involved. (It's really hard to Google a concept....)

In trying to remember, I kept winding up with Myers-Briggs stuff coming to
mind--although I did correctly remember that's not what I wanted.

Though it didn't take much to find someone equating mapping and packing with
Myers-Brigs iNtuiting and Sensing.

That is actually a very narrow approach

It's highly unlikely the world is divided into two concrete types of thinkers.
It is more likely that there is a whole spectrum with Mappers on one end and
Packers on the other, and a nice smooth bell-shaped curve in between. Meaning
the vast majority of people are probably 50-50 between Mapping and Packing, and
people in highly abstract fields being in the upper percentiles of Mappers. But
either type of thinking is probably (I would say almost certainly) a learnable
process.
