How to Choose a Visualization

Rating/ Likert

Data visualization suggestions for rating/ likert questions.

Example:

Suggested Visualizations

Diverging Stacked Bar Chart/ Likert Scale Chart
Diverging stacked bar charts center all the data in the middle, so it is more clear where the data falls in the bottom and the top half of the spread of values.
100% Stacked Bar Chart
Diverging stacked bar charts can be hard to create. A good alternative is the 100% stacked bar chart.
