People Mind Map Basics
A people mind map is a diagram that places individuals at the center or along branches and links them to roles, groups and relationships. It is useful for novels with many characters, historical figures, family trees and team structures. A clear map shows who belongs to which group and how each person influences the others.
- Individuals: names with key traits and actions
- Roles: jobs, titles or positions held
- Groups: families, teams, factions or organizations
- Relationships: ties such as friend, rival, parent or leader
- Timeline links: when connections began or changed
Use the map to review who is who before a test or discussion, then generate a personalized people map with CogniGuide from your own notes.
