This is really interesting! It seems like there are strategies on here that are both positive and negative. It seems as though self-handicapping is not great but the other impression management techniques could be really helpful. I imagine the spotlight effect could be good or bad depending on the situation.
Impression management is definitely something we all do. You cover some important parts of it, although it might have been useful to include some of problems we could run into when we engage in impression management. FYI, several typos in this.
Great job with this info graph! I found your topic very informative and interesting! The strategies that you provided are good. However, self-handicapping seems a little more negative.
