Description
Pocket Smell Test
The Pocket Smell Test is a brief, 3-odor forced-choice smell screening test designed to identify gross olfactory dysfunction quickly.
Because the test uses only three odor identification items, it is intended as a rapid screening tool rather than a full quantitative smell assessment.
When to Use the Pocket Smell Test
If a test subject misses one or more of the three items, the 40-item Smell Identification Test™ should be administered to more accurately quantify the degree of smell loss.
This makes the Pocket Smell Test useful as an initial smell screening option when a fast indication of olfactory dysfunction is needed before proceeding to a more comprehensive test.
