To develop the Chinese Remote Association Test （CRAT）, researchers utilized three Chinese characters to form stimulus in each item. The subject must find a target Chinese character that can link the three Chinese characters to make two-character Chinese words individually. 160 items were chosen from the data bank of vocabulary. After pretesting 407 college students, 60 items which had appropriate difficulty levels and good discriminative power were chosen to comprise the Chinese Remote Association Test form A and form B. Subsequent studies of CRAT yielded split-half reliability coefficients ranging from .64 to .77, and Cronbach’s α coefficients ranging from .58 to .74. Satisfactory concurrent validity were found. Percentile ranks and T-score norms of CRAT were created based on data from 1094 junior high school students, 463 senior high school students and 251 college students.
