Introduction abstract The sorting task is a simp<strong>le</strong> procedure for col<strong>le</strong>cting similarity data in which participants group together stimuli based on their perceived similarities. It is based on categorization which is a natural cognitive process routinely used in everyday life, and it does not require a quantitative response. This method has been routinely used by psychologists since the 1970s (e.g., Coxon, 1999; Healy & Mil<strong>le</strong>r, 1970). In the sensory domain, sorting tasks were first used to investigate the perceptual structure of odors (Chrea et al., 2005; Law<strong>le</strong>ss, 1989; Law<strong>le</strong>ss & Glatter, 1990; MacRae, Rawcliffe, Howgate, & Geelhoed, 1992; Stevens & O’Connell, 1996). Law<strong>le</strong>ss, Sheng, and Knoops (1995) were the first to use a sorting task with a food product (cheese). Today, a large variety of products (food or non food) have been studied with this method (see Abdi, Va<strong>le</strong>ntin, Chol<strong>le</strong>t, & Chrea, 2007, for a review). Results of sorting tasks are generally analyzed using multidimensional scaling (MDS) or variation of this method (e.g., distatis, Abdi et al., 2007), or sometimes with additive trees (Abdi, 1990; Corter, 1996). Generally, authors using the sorting task report that it is * Corresponding author.

In this paper, we proposed to examine the validity of the sorting task to <strong>de</strong>scribe products by trained and untrained assessors. The experiment reported here consisted in two parts. In a first part, participants sorted nine commercial beers and then <strong>de</strong>scribed each group with their own words or with a list of terms. In a second part, participants were asked to match each beer with one of their own sets of <strong>de</strong>scriptors. The matching task was used to evaluate the validity of the sorting task to <strong>de</strong>scribe products. Results showed that (1) the categories of trained and untrained assessors were comparab<strong>le</strong>, (2) trained and untrained assessors did not <strong>de</strong>scribe groups of beers similarly, (3) for both groups, the results of matching task were not very good and presented a high inter-variability, and (4) providing a list of terms did not seem to help the assessors. Overall, the results suggest that the sorting task followed by a <strong>de</strong>scription does not seem to be adapted for a precise and reliab<strong>le</strong> <strong>de</strong>scription of comp<strong>le</strong>x products such as beers but may be an interesting tool to probe assessors’ perception. Ó 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved. an easy and rapid method for obtaining perceptual maps of a large set of products, even with untrained participants. Some authors proposed to go one step further by adding a <strong>de</strong>scription phase to the sorting task in or<strong>de</strong>r to <strong>de</strong>scribe the products (Blancher et al., 2007; Cartier et al., 2006; Faye et al., 2004; Faye et al., 2006; Law<strong>le</strong>ss et al., 1995; Lim & Law<strong>le</strong>ss, 2005; Saint-Eve, Paçi Kora, & Martin, 2004; Tang & Heymann, 1999). So after they have sorted their products, participants are asked to <strong>de</strong>scribe each group with words, which are then projected onto the perceptual map of the products. Using this procedure Faye et al. (2004) studied the visual <strong>de</strong>scription of plastic pieces and compared the results of a free sorting task with <strong>de</strong>scription performed by consumers to a sensory profi<strong>le</strong> performed by experts. These authors found that the conclusions reached with these two methods were quite similar for the product configurations and the words used to <strong>de</strong>scribe the products. Likewise, Faye et al. (2006) showed that the MDS positioning of <strong>le</strong>ather samp<strong>le</strong>s obtained from a sorting task with <strong>de</strong>scription performed by consumers on visual and tacti<strong>le</strong> characteristics was comparab<strong>le</strong> to the sensory profi<strong>le</strong> of experts. Moreover, these authors found that consumers and experts were providing related <strong>de</strong>scriptions. However, these two studies involved non-food products and their results might not generalize to food products. In fact, the authors suggest that their results were specific to the case of visual and tacti<strong>le</strong> senses and that their samp<strong>le</strong>s were easy to differentiate. In the
