Worth a read -- there are some unexpected results (e.g. that pie charts might not be evil after all, but rather preferred in some situations). Also gems like "Two of these studies individually reject Tufte’s popular “high data-to-ink ratio” philosophy."
I almost skipped reading this article because from the headline I wasnt sure what it was about. Your post inspired me to read it and since I design I found some of the information helpful. Thanks for your comment!
I gave up after the 2nd paragraph:
Clearly I have learned everything there is to know about how humans perceive data graphics in preparation for this talk. Literally everything. But I couldn’t possibly fit it all into 30 minutes. So for your sake, let’s just refer to this talk as “39 studies on human perception in 30 minutes.”
