- In the mind-map method, which is written from central to top-down, the connection between the ends is strongly dependent on the flair ability of the creator, instead of a clear center. On the other hand, in the KJ method, which is a bottom-up method of drawing up a map from the ends, the connections at the ends are clear, but whether or not the center is clear depends strongly on the information sorting ability of the creator. Both have their advantages and disadvantages. (2011)
