L'auteur de la source française semble confondre les notions anglaises «Q-sort test» et «card-sorting test». Le «Q-sort» est un inventaire de personnalité où le sujet classe des cartes ou autres objets qui représentent une description de comportement en catégories selon si ces objets reflètent les traits de personnalité du sujet ou non. Dans le cas du «test de classement de cartes»(card-sorting test) le seul but est de créer des catégories homogènes. 3, record 3, French, - test%20de%20rapidit%C3%A9%20%C3%A0%20classer%20des%20cartes
