Several Diagram members are responsible for administering a binding daily intelligence test to King Taravangian. The results of this test determine his ability to serve as king, offer binding commentary on the Diagram, interact outside of supervision, change governmental policy, and pass judgement in trials.{{book ref|sa2|i|14}} [[Dukar]] is the head of the [[King's Testers]], often assisted by other stormwardens, presumably also members of the Diagram. [[Adrotagia]] and [[Mrall]] have also observed the King's Testing, and his room maid [[Maben]] has also been present.
The test consists of an increasingly difficult series of math problems, with the King's abilities determined by how he performs. His decisions will be restricted for the day if he performs too badly (because he is too unintelligent), but also if he performs too well (because he is too uncompassionate).
Adrotagia has used the data from Taravangian's test scores to show that his intellegence varies according to a statistical normal curve. From her calculations, she believes that another day of brilliance would be unlikely to occur more than once in two thousand years.{{book ref|sa2|i|14}}
===Interpretation of Diagram===
The senior members of the Diagram, including Taravangian himself, spend much of their time interpreting the Diagram and coming up with strategies to implement it. Because much of the original Diagram was written opaque ways, including codes, diagrams, poetry, and made-up languages,

See [[Death Rattle]] for the list of confirmed Death Rattles.
===Search for
The Diagram predicted that the order of Dustbringers would be most likely to ally with the Diagram, thought obtaining a radiant was not guaranteed by the Diagram. It appears that the Diagram implemented a program among its lower members to attempt to bond an [[ashspren]]. It is unknown what this consisted of. [[Malata]] was the first to succeed.
===Assassination of Leaders===
The Diagram predicted the ability to use (or create) a [[Shin]] [[Truthless]] as a weapon.{{epigraph ref|sa2|78}} It is unclear whether the Diagram was involved in the events that led to [[Szeth]] becoming a truthless, but Taravangian did eventually obtain possession of his oathstone and used it to assassinate other leaders.

===Graves's Conspiracy===
===Second Assassination Attempt on Dalinar===
===Undermining of Dalinar's Leadership===
===Alliance with Odium===
At the end of Oathbringer, Tarvangian allies the Diagram with Odium in exchange for his promise to save the city and people of Kharbranth (defined as anyone born in the city and their spouses).
