Life phases1

One octagon for each phase of the life of Henry A. Wallace. 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.

OverviewGenerated from documented data: the office held, income against IRS percentiles, the highest recorded degree, and the reviewed legal record. Axes with no documented evidence are left out.Only 2 of the 8 axes have documented evidence, so no shape is drawn yet.

No total and no ideal shape: a longer spoke means more of that axis, so a long Misconduct spoke is more documented misconduct.
