Scatter plot troubles!

[Chantal Milani]

Hi!
I'm trying to analyse some statistics and was having trouble figuring out why my scatter plots are shown so unusually!. I have sent a correlation test with intention to vaccinate and the personality trait openness and its corresponding scatter plot when I put in the code "scatter vacc open". I tried to look it up online but have had no luck with what I should do.

Hopefully this makes sense!

It seems that vacc has values 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 and open has values 1.5 3 3.5 4 4.5 5 5.6 6.6.5 7 and most of the possible pairs of values occur. Make sense?

To get a better idea go for

scatter vacc open, ms(Oh) jitter(1)

Okay! I understand now!. I'm just getting used to stata and statistics so I can get confused sometimes. Thankyou for clearing it all up!
