I haven’t met that many “beavers” and I don’t have as clear an idea in my mind of the type. It seems to me that a lot of “frogs” are also interested in puzzles. A puzzle (whether for work or entertainment) is something where metaphorical thinking won’t help, and usually neither will an algorithm; a puzzle has a sudden, insightful solution. Codes and languages seem more “beaver-ish” to me, in the sense that you use algorithms to deal with them.
Your comment is similar to Oscar’s I guess. I think (but am not sure) that interest in logic puzzles is correlated with interest in algorithms (perhaps for subtle reasons) even if the process of solving a logic puzzle is different from the process of implementing or analyzing an algorithm.
