- importance evaluation: partecipants can be asked to evaluate the importance of how each item in a category;
- prototypicality evaluation: partecipants can be asked to evaluate how each item fits into a category;
- closed card sorting: partecipants are asked to sort the items into some specified (labelled) groups;
- open card sorting: partecipants are asked to sort the items into some unlabelled groups; after that they are asked to label the groups used and to indicate the criterion used in classifying the items;
