Life phases2
One octagon for each phase of the life of Chester A. Arthur. Each of the eight axes is scored 0 to 5 against a written rubric from documented evidence, with its source; an axis without evidence is a gap, not a zero. There is no total and no ideal shape: it is a profile, not a ranking. Appearance and personality are not axes, because they cannot be scored from evidence.
- Collector of the Port of New York · 1871–1878
- President, from Garfield's death · 1881–1885
No total and no ideal shape: a longer spoke means more of that axis, so a long Misconduct spoke is more documented misconduct.

Every phase side by side; a dash is an axis with no evidence in that phase. Pick one phase for its rubric, confidence and sources.
Health, weight and religion appear only where the person, their physician or a reputable outlet has published them; each links to its source.
