Closed Card Sorting
In a closed card sort, participants are provided with a predetermined set of category names. They then assign the index cards to these fixed categories.
This helps reveal the degree to which the participants agree on which cards belong under each category.
Closed sorting is evaluative; it is typically used to judge whether a given set of category names provides an effective way to organize a given collection of content.

Famous quotes containing the words closed and/or card:
“Alas for the cripple Practice when it seeks to come up with the bird Theory, which flies before it. Try your design on the best school. The scholars are of all ages and temperaments and capacities. It is difficult to class them, some are too young, some are slow, some perverse. Each requires so much consideration, that the morning hope of the teacher, of a day of love and progress, is often closed at evening by despair.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The Card Catalogue: “See also” leads into the wilderness.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
