The aim of this paper is to build models of be haviour when individuals have to assess one and two variable static displays. The charts investigated are the one and two bargraph views and the rectangular one. The assessment is made in relation to the adjective "large", this being a priori affected by the size of all the stimuli Then, the judgment is obtained through a degree of agreement between a view and an assertion. The data are studied through correspondence analysis. The outcomes are large differences between the individuals and a higher variability with the rectangle than with the two bargraph charts
