Make a sociogram in minutes

A sociogram is a diagram of interpersonal relationships within a group. This group is an elementary school class. Each student has nominated three classmates that they admire. The arrows point to who they have nominated. Their circle size and color is determined by their nominations.

We notice several things about this class:

1. The group contains a tight subgroup of six girls on the right side with no links out to the rest of the group.
2. Michael is isolated, with no nominations at all.
3. Emily and William occupy central roles and both bridge subgroups.

Sociograms help you gain insight into group dynamics.

I built a webapp to make building sociograms quick and easy. The core principle is to allow data entry and editing of the graph contents like a spreadsheet.

Here is a screencast demonstrating how to use it. Get graphing with LeaderboardX.
