Redirected from "Clairvoyant Test"

A clarity test (or clairvoyant test) is a test of how well a decision basis element is defined. Although nothing (outside a formal system) can be completely defined, the clarity test allows the decision participants to determine whether such elements as variables, outcomes, and alternatives are sufficiently well defined for the decision at hand. In general, a basis element is well defined if a knowledgeable individual can answer questions about that basis element without asking any further clarifying questions.
