One thing this old article doesn't get into.... Is why some people are guessers. Because they were raised by guessers? Because they grew up in the Midwest?

It would be easy to link Guess culture to being scolded too much or from authoritarian consequences to honest questions. Asking seems like the natural state of anyone while guessing is a learned behavior.
