Card Sorting - Open Card Sorting

Open Card Sorting

In an open card sort, participants create their own names for the categories.

This helps reveal not only how they mentally classify the cards, but also what terms they use for the categories.

Open sorting is generative; it is typically used to discover patterns in how participants classify, which in turn helps generate ideas for organizing information.

Famous quotes containing the words open and/or card:

    Is encouragement what the poet needs? Open question. Maybe he needs discouragement. In fact, quite a few of them need more discouragement, the most discouragement possible.
    Robert Fitzgerald (1910–1985)

    What is the disease which manifests itself in an inability to leave a party—any party at all—until it is all over and the lights are being put out?... I suppose that part of this mania for staying is due to a fear that, if I go, something good will happen and I’ll miss it. Somebody might do card tricks, or shoot somebody else.
    Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
