The chart Joshua describes would be a BIG turnoff to me as a potential
employer, but the folks I hire are not technical, but more analytical.
Technical is nice, but not required. (Software testers)

IF all you offer on your resume are your "stats", that's all you'll be
regarded as, and would most likely be replaced when someone with better
stats comes along...

Just an opinion,
