EVE Online displays only Effective Standings. Chris Halsky's Sheet will suggest which Path you should take based on your current Standings.

If you do not have high enough Faction Standings to choose any Path you will have to increase your Faction Standings first.

You will not be able to reach the 5.0 Faction Standing with all Empires unless you have the minimum required Faction Standing, Skills and Missions.
