Thanks. My co-founders [1][2] actually did spend a decent amount of time thinking about this. The emotions are first sorted into negative on the left and positive on the right. The order is for symmetry of left/right side words: - Anxiety is the opposite of Confidence - Hostility is the opposite of Compassion - Depression is the opposite of Happiness As for the colors, each one is correlated to the typical psychological association for that color. The exception is Happiness which should be yellow but yellow doesn't render well on websites.

If you're trying to illustrate position on three spectrums, illustrate three spectrums. 6 bars on a graph implies, however vaguely, to the reader, despite your intent, that the abscissa means something. But it doesn't. It just confuses the picture. so get rid of that abscissa. In any case, anxiety and depression are generally a package deal in clinic. So I would put them together visually. Depression --------------------X------- Happiness Anxiety ----------------X----------- Confidence Hostility -------------------x-------- Compassion
