Remote Associates Test

The Remote Associates Test (RAT) is a creativity assessment that measures how well a person can make connections between seemingly unrelated words. Typically, it presents three words and challenges you to identify a fourth word that links them all. For example, with “fish,” “mine,” and “rush,” the answer is “gold,” forming “goldfish,” “goldmine,” and “gold rush.” The test evaluates your ability to think flexibly and see patterns, highlighting creative problem-solving skills necessary for innovation and cognitive flexibility.
