Abstract  This study aimed at investigating the characteristics of table and graph that people perceive and the data types which people consider the two displays are most appropriate for. Participants in this survey were 195 teachers and undergraduates from four universities in Beijing. The results showed people?ˉs different attitudes towards the two forms of display.

Key words： Table      Graph      Data types      Subjective evaluation
