I am going to call this graphic a bad one. I think the idea of it is good but the style of chart they chose to display the data is not. This chart is showing the proportion of respondents who attribute "very great prestige" to the above professions. I have never really seen a graph like this but it is almost like the exploded pie graph, stacked on top of each other. I think it would have been better as a full pie graph, or a bar or column graph. It is difficult for the eye to compare the sizes of these 3d images. It is effective that the percentages are listed on the left, because you almost need them to be there to compare the data. i would like to see this compared to a normal pie graph and see how much more effective, and how it would reduce the cognitive load.
