It is not.
Roman Numerals are used in standard music theory, Arabic Numerals are used in the Nashville Number System. This has always kinda bugged me about Jesse's otherwise superlative set of charts, mainly because I am mildly dyslexic and cannot "read" roman numerals without having to stop and carefully think about the differences between IV and VI, whether there are 2 or 3 "I" symbols, etc.
This means that whenever I look at these charts and try to discern patterns, my mind "blocks" me from doing so because of my difficulty with interpreting the roman numerals.
So with that in mind, and with all respect to Jesse, I have edited his charts to use Arabic Numerals instead.
