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:
“And open field, through which the pathway wound,
And homeward led my steps. Magnificent
The morning rose, in memorable pomp,
Glorious as eer I had beheldin front,
The sea lay laughing at a distance; near,
The solid mountains shone, bright as the clouds,
Grain-tinctured, drenched in empyrean light;”
—William Wordsworth (17701850)
“The Card Catalogue: See also leads into the wilderness.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
