When it comes to graphical perception tasks, are we all equally skilled? Research in visualization literacy has established methods for objectively measuring a person’s literacy level. However, the literacy thread of research has not yet assessed how literacy measures are related to well-established graphical perception tasks. To bridge this gap and contribute to our understanding of how visualization literacy may impact low-level performance with visualizations, we contribute a study replicating a graphical perception study in conjunction with a visualization literacy assessment. Namely, participants with high literacy scores tended to perform not necessarily accurately on low-level graphical perception tasks, but consistently. These preliminary results suggest a new consideration, consistency, in graphical perception studies, as well as a new dimension relating to the value of visualization literacy.
