Yes its more of a continuum, of course everyone has an innate potential for
mapping and if they practice it enough, their whole way of thinking makes heavy
use of it. If they don't, it doesn't. Most people are capable of doing mapping
on demand, but most of the non-programmers I've met don't do it all the time in
the background the way good programmers do.
Read the linked page, it discusses some of the reasons for this: in particular,
our whole education system is set up to encourage action, and packer-type
thinking. When kids start mapping ("daydreaming") they get their
knuckles rapped and are told to stop doing that and get back to work.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

What makes you think it's a 50-50 bell curve?
My own experience is that it's much more like 90% packers and 10% mappers.
Except that in programming fields, its the other way around: I work as a game
developer, and all of the other programmers I work with are super mappers.
Across the team (and across creative fields in general) there is plenty of
mapper thinkers, but if you look at other industries (manufacturing or
something) you find packer-type thinkers everywhere you look.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
