Wisconsin Card Sorting Test

The Wisconsin Card Sorting Test is a psychological assessment used to measure a person's cognitive flexibility and problem-solving skills. In the test, participants sort cards based on different rules, which change without warning. For instance, you might first sort cards by color, then suddenly switch to sorting by shape. This process tests how well a person can adapt to new rules and shift their thinking. It’s often used to evaluate executive functions, which are important for planning, decision-making, and managing everyday tasks. The test provides insights into how the brain processes information and adapts to change.
