University of Pennsylvania Smell Identification Test (UPSIT)

The University of Pennsylvania Smell Identification Test (UPSIT) is a standardized assessment used to evaluate a person's sense of smell. It involves a series of scratch-and-sniff strips, each releasing a specific odor. The individual is asked to identify the smell from multiple-choice options. The test helps detect and diagnose smell impairments, which can be linked to conditions like neurological diseases or sinus issues. It is quick, non-invasive, and widely used by healthcare professionals to assess olfactory function accurately.
