Assessing creativity independently of language: A normed Language Independent Remote Associate Task (LI-RAT)
Description
Most creativity measures are either complex or language-dependent, hindering cross-cultural creativity assessment. We have therefore developed and tested a simple, language-independent insight task based on pictures in the style of the widely used verbal remote associate task (RAT). We demonstrate that the language-independent RAT allows assessment of different aspects of insight across large samples with different languages. It also correlates with other creativity and general problem solving tasks. The entire stimulus set, including its normative data, is made freely available. This information can be used to select items based on accuracy, mean solution time, likelihood to produce an insight, or conceptual and perceptual similarity between the pictures per item.
The uploaded data refers to both studies as described in the preprint. The variable names should be intuitive.
