Other than 'always' and 'never', it is not possible to define these words so precisely.

No, Clive, I am not asking you to define that so precisely. But I want to know that the way they have arranged it respectively is correct or not?
I think "usually" is supposed to be less frequently than "often" but in this picture it's vice versa?

The percentages are meaningless. The relative positions are mostly OK, though I, personally, don't feel much difference between 'frequently' and 'often' or between 'rarely' and 'seldom'.

Bear in mind, too, that my 'occasionally' could be another's 'often'. My wife and I rarely use the same adverb when we are talking about the frequency or duration of my trips to the pub.
