About the Remote Association Test (RAT)

A concise introduction — more details coming soon.

What It Measures

RAT evaluates convergent thinking: the ability to find a single insightful link among several ideas. Each item shows three words. Your job is to discover the one word that meaningfully connects all three.

How It Works

Choose a difficulty and solve a short set (typically 10 items). We track accuracy and time. Results summarize your score and streak, with optional saving to your profile.

Example

"Cottage / Swiss / Cake" → Cheese.

Tips

  • Think of categories, compounds, and common collocations.
  • Try multiple senses of a word (food, place, tool, etc.).
  • If stuck, reframe each prompt from different domains.
