Mednick（1962）將創造力界定為，將有用的、不尋常、原創的想法相互連結的過程，愈有創意者愈能將不相關的事物連結在一起，亦即愈能進行遠距聯想，據此，Mednick發展了「遠距聯想量表」（RAT）。本研究最主要之目的為編製「中文詞彙遠距聯想測驗」（CWRAT）。在預試的80道試題中，依項目分析結果挑選出60題作為正式試題，並將之區分為難度相同的甲、乙兩式題本。在信度考驗上，兩版本試題間具有 .610的相關，內部一致性係數依序為 .808與 .801。在效度考驗上，以頓悟性問題進行效標關聯效度考驗，顯示有正相關存在（r依序為. 506與. 404）；以「新編創造思考測驗」進行區辨效度考驗，顯示與各指標皆無相關存在（r介於-.056與.082之間）。可知，CWRAT具有良好的信度與效度，可有效測量個體的遠距聯想與創造潛能。

Mednick (1962) defined creativity as the process of putting useful, unusual, original ideas together. The more creative person, the more he could associate unrelated, remote ideas. According to this definition, Mednick developed Remote Association Test (RAT) as an objective tool for assessing creativity. The main purpose of our research is to develop Chinese Word Remote Associatives Test (CWRAT). According to the results of item analysis, we choose 60 items from pilot study and divide into Form A and From B with same difficulty. In the reliability, the correlation between two forms is .610, and the coefficiencies of Cronbach's α are .808 and .801 in order. In the validity, the correlations between two Forms and Insight Problems are .506 and .404 (ps < .05). No correlation was found between two Forms and New Creativity Test for Use (rs between -.056-.082, ps > .05). In conclusion, CWRAT could effectively measure remote association ability and creative potential with good reliability and validity.
