==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 how muchif different 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. (This kind of evaluation can also be done using [[Tree testing (information architecture)|tree testing]].)
