Abstract: Based on Mednicks remote association theory， CRAT by Ren chunhui and her colleagues from Taiwan， China and The Chinese Common Words Frequency Table by Beijing Language and Culture University， Chinese Remote Association Test suitable for the language habits of the mainland students was developed.

The results showed that Chinese Remote Association Test has a quite good internal consistency， with its Cronbachs α being 0.734， and the test has a good criterion validity， with remarkable correlations to New Creativity Test in fluency， flexibility and originality. Chinese Remote Association Test has been used in university independent recruitment examinations and performed satisfactorily as a screening instrument.
