A series of constructed graphs are used to examine the relative merits of some indexes of social standing in small groups and bounded social networks. The choice, Alexander, Katz and Hubbell measures all fail, in one way or another, to provide status scores that reflect adequately the relative standing of the nodes in these constructed graphs. A new measure of standing is proposed that works well both in the constructed data sets and a set of sociograms drawn from the bank Wiring Room data and Thurman's office data. Since the pioneering work of Moreno (1934) there has been an intermittent interest in measuring the relative standing of individuals in a small group or bounded social network. The basic intuitions underlying most of these measures are twofold, and focus on the contributions to the relative standing of individuals from others in the small group: First, individuals receiving many choices rank above those receiving few; and second, nominations from those ranking high contribute more to the standing of the nominee than nominations from those of low standing. These intuitions are reflected in the measure reported in this paper which is an iterated version of Hubbell's (1965) measure applicable to both binary and quantitative sociomatrices
