I don’t think intuition is the right word. If you have never seen a box plot before, your intuition will not help parse it. (Unlike violin plots.)


In my experience of sharing violin plots with people who are unfamiliar with them, it's not intuitive that the curve represents the distribution. Even with the scatter plot over/underlaid.

But that's okay, I don't mind explaining it and then the graph is easier to interpret imo.
