i'm not sure, but i think it's a combination of different things, so the chart would NOT be a pretty sight. i think it involves a predetermined potential along with your people's connection to the element you'd have a potential for. a combination of nature and nurture so to speak. so even if you feel like you and your people had a deep bond on every level to, say, the earth, only the ones with the innate potential would be earthbenders. same as if you have the potential to be an earthbender but aren't brought up with the appropriate mind set. an inborn talent my compensate to some extent and vice versa, but it wouldn't happen without both.
