Which visual variable is best suited to showing quantity?

  • A.Orientation
  • B.Size
  • C.Shape
  • D.Colour hue

Answer: B

Size is read quantitatively: a circle twice the area is understood to represent more. Shape, hue and orientation are read as differences in kind rather than in amount, so they cannot carry a magnitude without a legend doing all the work.
