THE CHART, THE DATA, THE EXPLANATION

Skills radar chart example with a practice goal

A skills radar chart compares ratings across several named capabilities on a common scale. This fictional example places current self-ratings beside practice goals for six skills, making the gaps available for discussion.

A practice plan, made visible. Current and Practice goal compared across Research, Design, Writing, Coding, Presenting, Planning. All axes use a scale from 0 to 10. Exact scores are available in the data table.

How to read this chart

Coding moves from a current rating of 3 to a goal of 6, and presenting from 4 to 7. Those are the largest gaps at three scale points each. Design begins at 7 and has a goal of 8, a smaller gap of one point.

Research and writing each have two-point gaps, while planning has a one-point gap. The outline format keeps both series readable without overlapping filled areas. The gaps describe stated ratings and intentions, not a measured rate of learning or a probability of achieving the goal.

Build it with your own data

Use one row per skill and a column for each assessment. Define what values on the shared 0–10 scale mean before scoring. For example, agree on observable tasks associated with selected levels rather than treating a higher number as self-explanatory.

Keep the same dimensions, axis order and maximum when comparing later assessments. Update the source and subtitle with the assessment context. The editor accepts the supplied scores directly; it does not evaluate competence, assign a rubric or normalize different kinds of evidence.

What this example cannot tell you

These ratings are invented and are not a validated assessment instrument. A goal is not an observed result. Polygon area is not an overall skill score, and changing axis order can change the visual shape without changing any underlying rating.

Can I use this to rank team members?

The chart can display scores, but ranking requires a fair, consistent assessment process that this example does not provide. For a practice conversation, focus on specific behaviours and evidence behind each dimension. Avoid turning the polygon’s size into an unsupported performance grade.
