A bar chart is the best choice for displaying categorical data with a small number of categories, such as the six different job interview mistakes. It allows for easy comparison between the different categories and provides a clear visual representation of the data. Stem-and-leaf displays are generally used for displaying quantitative data, contingency tables are more appropriate for comparing two categorical variables, and histograms are typically used to display continuous data.
