The NY Times has an interesting graph the displays the number and kinds of
medals each country in the Olympics in a graph with countries with the greatest
number of medals on top and the least at the bottom; see:

This is apparently known as a "Hasse diagram" and more information about it
can be gotten here:

The Hasse diagram was generated using a software package called Graphviz
and more info about the package can be obtained here:

Seems to me that it might be useful in representing some things in psychology.
