# Infographic comprehension survey

Check whether visual explanations communicate accurately.

If nothing was unclear or difficult, say so. Skip questions about steps you did not experience; use not applicable where appropriate.

## 1. What conclusion did the graphic suggest?

Answer: ____________________

## 2. Which label was unclear?

Answer: ____________________

## 3. What context should accompany the visual?

Answer: ____________________

## Author notes / illustrative keys where applicable

1. Use this answer to locate the part of the experience that needs explanation. The example issue to investigate is: readers mistake a synthetic example for measured results.
2. An unclear label can obscure the variable, unit or population represented in the graphic. Define it alongside the relevant visual using source-backed meaning, rather than inferring comprehension from an attractive presentation.
3. Turn the requested improvement into a testable next step. One illustrative action is: label synthetic values beside the graphic.

Interpretation caution: Do not invent statistics for visual appeal.


## Illustrative finding and follow-up

Observation: Readers mistake a synthetic example for measured results.

Action to test: Label synthetic values beside the graphic.

Follow-up: After trying the change, repeat “What conclusion did the graphic suggest?” with people who experienced it. Check whether they still describe the original issue: readers mistake a synthetic example for measured results. Compare explanations and sample context, rather than claiming the change caused an improvement.
