Basic Method
To perform a card sort:
- A person representative of the audience is given a set of index cards with terms already written on them.
- This person puts the terms into logical groupings, and finds a category name for each grouping.
- This process is repeated across a population of test subjects.
- The results are later analyzed to reveal patterns.

Famous quotes containing the words basic and/or method:
“The basic difference between classical music and jazz is that in the former the music is always greater than its performance—Beethoven’s Violin Concerto, for instance, is always greater than its performance—whereas the way jazz is performed is always more important than what is being performed.”
—André Previn (b. 1929)
“One of the grotesqueries of present-day American life is the amount of reasoning that goes into displaying the wisdom secreted in bad movies while proving that modern art is meaningless.... They have put into practise the notion that a bad art work cleverly interpreted according to some obscure Method is more rewarding than a masterpiece wrapped in silence.”
—Harold Rosenberg (1906–1978)
