Smell identification test
A smell identification test assesses how well a person can recognize and name different scents. During the test, the individual is presented with a series of odor samples, often in small containers, and asked to identify each one from options or by describing it. This test helps evaluate the sense of smell and can indicate issues like smell loss or neurological conditions affecting olfactory function. It’s a simple, standardized way to measure olfactory health, often used by healthcare providers to diagnose or monitor smell-related problems.
