(organizational rather than individual), but maybe related, there was an article
about the URISA Municipal GIS Capability Maturity Model in ArcNews not too long

[gis_info] GIS User Category Descriptions<BR><BR></FONT></DIV>Hello All,
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV> Does anyone have a written description of categories of GIS
users (in this case users of ESRI software)? I'm looking for something
to include in a document aimed at managers who are not necessarily very
familiar with the GIS. It might categorize on the basis of technological
sophistication or area of expertise.</DIV>
