It would be a reasonable chart, if not optimal, if it had more objective labels, as it is it's funny becauseIshamael posted:

Radar charts are garbage because the shape the lines make are meaningless.

Unless you're comparing a ton of things by the same categories, in which case the simple shape can make for quick interpretation. Such as characters in a video game. For a straight one to another comparison yeah it's pretty garbage

*Pretend that I posted every pie chart ever created* Pie charts are bad pieces of crap pushed by marketing execs. Judge Schnoopy posted:Unless you're comparing a ton of things by the same categories, in which case the simple shape can make for quick interpretation. Such as characters in a video game. Basically, it only makes sense if each adjacent corner is related to the other adjacent corner. This is pretty much never true of these charts though. I can't even think of that many real-world situations where these rules would apply, making them good for video games and nothing else.

They make a whole lot of sense when the categories are time. Such as twelve points, one for each month, comparing quantities of things throughout the year. This is not one of those.

There's gotta be some basic argument flaw here. I'm thinking it's a post-hoc-ergo-propter-hoc thing, but I feel like there's something a bit more fine-tuned to this exact situation.

Yeah, we all remember the story about that North Korean kid who grew up to become a famous CEO due to her skills and dedication even though she had no luck whatsoever about where she was born, what her society thought about her gender, her complete lack of social networking with anyone else in the industry, her ability to even have enough to eat, her ability to avoid mental-ability-affecting diseases, disabilities, and injuries, and a whole slew of other stuff completely out of her control. Bootstraps! If only there were some point between one extreme and another; oh well

They're all the same chart so I'm assuming they've photoshopped a decent, for a pie chart, chart over a stock image of a bunch of ecstasy pills falling out of a bottle, then removed any hint of being remotely clever.

Yeah but check out orange. There's some excel weirdness there where the biggest chart doesn't display orange and seems to be hidden under green. You can see it clipping through on two of the other charts

Maybe it's just because I took too much math in college, but this chart communicates a rather complicated notion(assuming it uses any sort of meaningful data) pretty effectively, and I'd certainly ding it for style, the substance seems really good.

As a company in a Gartner Magic Quadrant that's not actually that bad a chart, they make worse, far far worse. Which you then have to try and interpret the results of so you can end up in the right Quadrant next time.

This is not so much awful, more funny in what it means. The numbers are average OKCupid compatibility scores for that starsign combination.  Well,  the idea that that meant anything. I can't take credit for this by the way, I found it catching up on the pseudoscience thread in SAL.
