While it is an individual answering this question, the company looks at the answer as a whole. Sociometry: research technique made by jacob moreno. The point of it is to graphically summarize patterns of relationships. Questions like who do you like working with are asked: the sociogram is the graphical representation of sociometry. By gathering information from individuals, you can get information about the group based on how similarly or di erently the group members answer from each other. Disadvantages of self reports: social desirability: people will answer the way they think they should answer. People in canada answer di erently because thats how canadians are supposed to answer: faking good : people giving an overly in ated response based on the question.
