This study discusses, firstly, some MDS theories suitable for sociometry, then issues of application are proposed. Some possible resolution strategies are also proposed after analyses of practical data and discussions. Finally, according to some previous discussions, some suggestions are presented.

Keywords: sociometry; sociometric test; MDS
