JARAT FORM A-Remote Associates Testの成人用日本語版-に依る創造的活動の分析

Three JARAT scoring groups and two academic performance (based upon the results of three years of high school and the first year of college) groups were selected from 419 male college freshmen (each group, N=8). HG, MG and LG (high, medium and low JARAT scoring groups) and two academic groups (superior and inferior groups) were examined by group methods of Rorschach Test and TAT. H, M and scores of M activity significantly discriminated HG from MG and LG. Content analysis of the stories composed on successive presentations of three and five TAT plates showed that HG had more fantastic, antisocial and dependent tendency in the world of imagination than all other groups. Therefore, it was concluded that JARAT based upon the complex systems of Japanese language had some validity as a creativity test for adults.
