A quick definition of control test:

A control test is a way to determine if someone is responsible for a criminal act they committed. It is used in some places to decide if a person's mental illness prevented them from controlling their behavior. If it did, they may not be held responsible for their actions. This test is also called the irresistible-impulse test or volitional test. It is often used in combination with the McNaghten rules.

A more thorough explanation:

The control test, also known as the irresistible-impulse test, is a legal test used in criminal law to determine if a person is criminally responsible for their actions. This test holds that a person is not responsible for their actions if they were unable to control their behavior due to a mental disease or defect.

For example, if a person with a severe mental illness commits a crime, they may be able to use the control test as a defense. If they can prove that their mental illness prevented them from controlling their behavior, they may not be held criminally responsible for their actions.

It's important to note that not all jurisdictions recognize the control test, and those that do often combine it with other legal tests, such as the McNaghten rules.

Overall, the control test is used to determine if a person's mental state at the time of a crime should absolve them of criminal responsibility.
