When do people make their biggest life decisions?
In the chart below, you can see a summary of all the survey responses collected.
Here’s some information to help you interpret the chart:
  • Along the horizontal axis, we have age at the time the big decision was made. Decisions made when older are positioned further to the right.
  • Along the vertical axis, we have the importance of the big decision. More important decisions are positioned higher.
  • There are nine circles corresponding to each of the major big decision categories. The larger the circle, the more often people mentioned that type of big decision.
  • There are error bars for both age and importance. The longer the bar, the larger the spread in responses for that variable.
