  1. Bar charts and radar charts are great for comparing multiple variables for multiple groups.
  2. Suggested response: The bar chart is great for comparing the skill attributes of the different employees, but it is not the best choice when it comes to getting an overall impression of an employee, due to the fact that the skills are not displayed directly next to one another.

    The radar chart is great for this scenario because you can both compare performance across employees and directly observe the individual performance for each skill attribute.

  3. Suggested response:

    For both the bar and radar charts, adding a title and labels would help to understand the plots better. Additionally, using different colors for the different employees in the radar chart would help to keep the different employees apart.
