My intention with this post was to highlight the disconnection on the definitions of each and how they are used somewhat interchangeably.

It is clearly a chart/graph and also a statistical graphic since it shows quantitative data. Information graphics include statistical graphics as well as lots of other graphics like subway maps, maps, diagrams, etc. I've seen so many conflicting definitions of data visualization and information visualization that it's difficult to comment on these. Some consider data visualization to be synonymous with statistical graphic while others consider data visualization to be what I call data art: paying more attention to novelty and attracting attention than to communicating clearly and accurately. Information visualization need not be of quantitative data. This figure may be "all of the above" depending on one's definitions. The poll does not allow for more than one check.
