#2The choice of graph here is really bad.
Basically the graph is trying to show two things at once - the difference between the categories and the difference between each category and normal. For multiple variables.
By showing a lot of information on one graph, it becomes hard to see any particular pieceof information.
If you are trying to show a comparison between two categories, it's better to normalise those two categories. If you want to show that being far from the centre of the bell curve is more significant (which doesn't come accross on this graph at all by the way), then factor that in when you normalise.
Two clear graphs are better than one bad one.

#3I’d like to se this broken down by age, too. They refer to what terms mean to “men” when i often wondered if they were talking to “boys”

Considering "0" in this case is the 50% mark and the graphs show equal distances from that 50% mark this looks legit to me.

They do offer an "Age Report" which costs $2499:

Here's a sample chart showing how "Competition" ranks by age:

No it doesn’t lie. Graph manipulation is a problem; this is not an example of that.

#8Came here to whinge about the choice of graphs, not disappointed that others beat me to it.

#9This is wrong, even their entire concept of casual/mid/hardcore gamer is terrible, you can't just define it like that.

The graphs start/end at the 20th/~85th percentiles rather than 0th/100th, which makes the differences seem larger than they are.
