Sociometric analysis of a group of individuals is performed using a single
software application on a digital computer. The software creates a
sociometric questionnaire in response to questions selected by a user.
The questionnaire comprises at least one sociometric question, and
typically several such questions. Each question includes a plurality of
potential nominations corresponding to the individuals in the group, and
solicits at least one nomination from the plurality. The software
facilitates the inputting of responses to the sociometric questionnaire
by displaying a replica of the questionnaire. The responses are accepted
and analyzed, and each individual is classified into one of a plurality
of sociometric classifications. Probability and strength scores related
to the classification are calculated and reported. Reciprocal nominations
and self-nominations are reported. The sociometric analysis results are
output in a variety of formats, including graphic displays such as a
scatterplot diagram or slider bars.
