The scientific approach to the study of creative problem solving has shifted from using classic insight problems (e.g., the problem), towards sets of problems that have more robust psychometric properties, such as the Remote Associate Test (RAT). Because it is homogeneous, compact, quickly solvable, and easy to score, the RAT has been used more frequently in recent creativity studies. We applied the Item Response Theory (IRT) to develop an Italian version of this task. The final 51-item test was reliable (α = .89) and provided information over a wide range of ability levels, as revealed by the IRT analysis. The RAT correlated with five measures of creative performance: The Raven's Standard Progressive Matrices (SPM), three classic insight problems, a set of anagrams purposefully developed, the fluency and flexibility scores of the Alternative Uses Task (AUT), and the Creative Achievements Questionnaire (CAQ). The new measure provided is meant to encourage the study of creativity and problem solving in the Italian language.
研究创造性问题解决的科学方法已从使用经典的顿悟问题(如[此处原文缺失具体问题]问题),转向使用具有更强心理测量学特性的问题集,如远程联想测验(RAT)。由于RAT具有同质性、紧凑性、可快速解决且易于评分的特点,它在近期的创造力研究中被更频繁地使用。我们应用项目反应理论(IRT)来开发该任务的意大利语版本。最终的51项测试是可靠的(α = 0.89),并且如IRT分析所示,在广泛的能力水平上提供了信息。RAT与五种创造性表现指标相关:瑞文标准渐进矩阵(SPM)、三个经典的顿悟问题、一组特意编制的字谜、替代用途任务(AUT)的流畅性和灵活性得分,以及创造性成就问卷(CAQ)。所提供的新测量方法旨在鼓励用意大利语对创造力和问题解决进行研究。
