The scenario
A teacher conducted a sociometric test in a 4th‑grade classroom, asking students to list three classmates they’d like to play with and three they’d rather not. The resulting circular sociogram uses node size to reflect in‑degree (popularity) and color to show sociometric status (star, rejected, isolate, neglectee), revealing social structures invisible to casual observation.
