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.
