This chart reorganizes the
same information in descending empirical order of level of
agreement. Immediately we have a much easier time identifying a
pattern because the six items clearly cluster into two distinct
groups. This encourages a systematic and condensed description:
“Respondents were nearly twice as likely to agree with legal
abortion under the three circumstances on the left than under the
three circumstances on the right.” This description is a big
improvement over six separate sentences, each reporting rates of
agreement for a given abortion circumstance.
