Agree on this one. Certain kinds of people and thinkers tend to gravitate towards programming. The aspect of getting satisfaction from seeing the perfect alignment of code on the screen, and the satisfaction of re-factoring code into clean, modular pieces, must somehow satisfy the programmer in order to get a kick out if it.

So probably those who are naturally logical thinkers, even to a level that normally would not be very useful, become useful in the computer space where they can utilize their internal skills of putting things into neat ordered rows of zeros and ones.
