Spider charts, for shape at a glance.
One axis per competency or theme, with benchmark overlays — the tile behind every profile-style report Ascent produces.
One profile, read as a shape.
Six competencies become a silhouette. This leader spikes on integrity and vision and dips on agility — a shape you grasp before reading a single number. The fainter dashed outline is the organization average, so the profile is judged in context, axis by axis, not in isolation.
Overlay self, manager, and peer shapes the same way and a 360° perception gap becomes impossible to miss — three outlines on one set of axes.
Reach for spider when the story is shape.
A radar chart turns a list of theme scores into a recognizable silhouette — strong here, weak there — which is exactly what a competency profile, a personality instrument, or a 360° comparison needs. Ascent's RadarChart component takes the same ChartDataPoint shape as bar and line, so a tile can be re-typed to spider without touching the underlying scoring data.
Competency profiles
One axis per competency in a leadership or skills framework — the classic "competency radar" tile, showing shape at a glance rather than a list of numbers.
360° and multi-rater views
Overlay self, manager, and peer scores as separate shapes on the same axes to surface perception gaps immediately.
Behavioral and trait profiles
Networked scoring models that segment into themes render naturally as a radar — each theme becomes an axis of the profile.
Built for comparison, not just display.
Every axis is scaled to your scoring model, and every overlay is a real benchmark, not a decorative shape.
One axis per category
Unlike a polar bar chart, RadarChart gives every category its own axis radiating from center — the right choice whenever the categories are conceptually parallel, like competencies or themes.
Up to three benchmark shapes
Average, percentile, or seeded-target overlays render as additional semi-transparent shapes on the same axes, so a respondent's profile is read directly against context.
Optional fill and drilldown
Fill the primary shape's area for a bolder read, or leave it as an outline for a busier chart with several overlays. Every vertex fires a drilldown event.
Radar profiles anchor leadership and behavioral reports.
The radar tile is the centerpiece of Ascent's leadership-effectiveness and behavioral-assessment solutions — competencies or traits scored by a networked or assessor model, rolled up into themes, and rendered as a single profile shape a respondent can act on.
