This article presents an analysis of personal network visualization based on systematic evaluations of alter pairs compared to freestyle drawings respondents made of their personal network. In most cases, personal network visualization provided important details that are different from respondents' perceptions. Several case studies are discussed that highlight the additional data provided when using personal network visualization.

Key Words: personal networks • visualization • cognition
