About This Tool

Our Personal Network Diversity Analysis Tool uses established academic research to help you understand the diversity within your personal and professional networks. Based on principles from network theory and social psychology, this assessment provides insights into how the diversity of your connections may impact your opportunities, decision-making, and personal growth.

Methodology

This tool employs the Shannon Diversity Index, a measure originally developed in information theory and widely used in ecology and social sciences to quantify diversity. We also analyze patterns of homophily - the tendency for similar individuals to connect with one another - which has been extensively studied in network research.
