Synthesists have always won out. You have to be interested enough to have enough data to see the dots. I often see people’s dots in their mind map (interestingly, there are maps to our experience that we carry around us) and join them when they can’t see or feel them.

It just occurred to be that I might start mapping people’s mind maps

I like to use Maps when I communicate. So even if it don't work all the time I try to combine the two worlds :-)
