Abstract

Creativity is recognized as a function or an ability that emerges as genuine, valuable and useful. A person's level of Creativity can be measured by assessing their performance in the tests of Creativity. One of the most commonly used tests of Creativity is the Remote Associates Test. The Remote Associates Test, developed by Mednick (1967), is recognized as a valid Convergent Thinking tool. The purpose of this study was to investigate the psychometric properties and the Persian version of the Remote Associates Test. For this purpose, 482 students at Arak University were recruited through the cluster sampling method and participated in this study. Thus, at first 200 students were recruited and answered the Remote Associates Test. After the initial refinement, some modifications were made to the initial version, and then 282 subjects, other than the initial sample, responded to the Remote Associates Test, the Insight Problem Solving Test, and Guilford's Alternate Uses Test. Two classical approaches and the item response theory were used to investigate the coefficient of the difficulty and distinction of the items, construct validity, and reliability. Significant positive correlations of the Remote Associations Test with the Insight Problem Solving Test, and lack of its significant relationship with Guilford's Alternate Uses Test indicate convergent and differential validity, respectively, and an appropriate construct validity of the test. The results show the appropriate psychometric properties of the 30-item version of the Remote Associates Test, presented in this study, and it can be said that this test is effective and suitable for measuring Convergent Thinking in Persian.
