Weekly Viz 2018-01-08

Across the globe, personality is rated as more important than looks

About Makeover Monday

MakeoverMonday is a social data project: “Each week we post a link to a chart, and its data, and then you rework the chart. Maybe you retell the story more effectively, or find a new story in the data. We’re curious to see the different approaches you all take. Whether it’s a simple bar chart or an elaborate infographic, we encourage everyone of all skills to partake. Together we can have broader conversations about and with data.”

Starting from Jan 08, 2018, I decide to put aside one hour on Monday weekly to create some visualization and find some insights from the data.

The datasets are published each week at: MakeoverMonday Datasets.

Makeover Monday 0108

This week’s topic is to visualize a survey on 20 countries about what characteristics are most important for a romantic partner. Information about the survey and some original vizzes could be found in this article. Data credited to @mattsmithetc @YouGov.

My Visualization

I spent about one hour from exploratory data analysis to visualization and analysis. Below is my dashboard:

Interesting findings

• Overall, people believe Personality is the most important characteristics for a romantic partner, while Money is the least important one;
• Men and women have the greatest differences on the rating of Good Looking - it seems like men care more about whether his partner is beautiful or not (sad story);
• Meanwhile, women care more about how wealthy her partner is, and whether he is humourous enough.
