Agreed. I wish they’d stick to calling hard-to-read graphics like this ‘visualizations’ - the word ‘infographics’ implies a graphic designed to efficiently display information.
The worst part is it wouldn’t be hard to improve the graphic. They could drop the annoying 84-item list and just directly write the emotions in the 84 slots around the circle instead of using numbers. Enlarge the circle and blow up the font size a bit—then they can put the A to J list of cultures into the empty middle of the circle so you don’t have to keep looking off the side to cross-reference it. That’d help, even if it wouldn’t fix it.
Edit—I see that when they used that infographic as their book’s cover, they gave up on the idea of making it a real infographic and just made it into a pretty flower!
