@ emy601000 It's the Wisconson card sort test, it tests frontal lobe function. The person taking the test has to group cards with other cards according to a rule, but the rule changes randomly and one must figure out when the rules change and what they change to. For example, it might start out that the rule is to group cards by like symbol shape, but then it could change to grouping cards by like symbol color or number. Generally the faster a person can deal with the rule changes, the better

does anyone know what kind of task it is with sorting the cards with symbols.What is the purpose of this test?

The Temporal Lobe is responsible for the philsophical mind. The School System does not value creative exercises and can not test this part of the brain to compare students with other students so it goes unexercised in most people which leads to a society of people who lack reasoning skills. The Temporal Lobe is also the spiritual center in the brain and is responsible for ALL progress in society, so we are stunting our growth spiritually and in our progress as a society by not valuing creativity
