Uzak Bağlantılar Testi: Norm ve Güvenirlik Çalışması
Mevcut makalede sezgisel ve yaratıcı problem çözme becerilerini ölçmede kullanılan Uzak Bağlantılar Testi’nin (UBT) Türkçe norm ve güvenirlik çalışması rapor edilmiştir. UBT için 120 adet problem (üçlü kelime seti) oluşturulmuştur. Her bir UBT Problemi üç kelimeden oluşmakta ve çözüm için bu problem kelimelerinin her biriyle birlikte kullanıldığında anlamlı ikili kelime oluşturan (ortak) çözüm kelimesinin bulunması gerekmektedir. Testin güvenirliği için hesaplanan iç tutarlık katsayısının (Cronbach α = .87) oldukça yüksek ve anlamlı ol- duğu belirlenmiştir. Ek olarak UBT problemleri çözüm kelimesinin problem kelimesine olan konumuna göre (başta ya da sonda) iki farklı tipte düzenlenmiştir. Buna göre; Geriye Doğru UB Problemlerini çözüm kelimelerinin üçlü problem kelimelerinin önüne/başına geldiği prob- lemler; İleriye Doğru UB Problemlerini ise çözüm kelimelerinin üçlü problem kelimelerinin sonuna geldiği problemler oluşturmuştur. Problem yapısına bağlı olarak çözülme oranları incelendiğinde ileriye doğru UBT puanlarının geriye doğru UBT puanlarından anlamlı de- recede daha yüksek olduğu gözlenmiştir. Son olarak mevcut bulgular UBT puanları arasında cinsiyet açısından farklılık olmadığını göstermiştir.

Remote Associates Test: Norms and Reliability Study
This paper reports norms and reliability study of The Turkish version of the Remote Asso- ciates Test (TRAT) which has been used to assess insight and creative problem solving abilities. 120 sets of words were constructed for the TRAT. Each one of 120 TRAT problems consists of three words and is solved with an answer word that connects all three words by forming word pairs used in everyday language. The reliability of the test, as measured by Cronbach’s Alpha (.87), was high and significant. In addition the TRAT problems were divided into two types according to the direction (forward or backward) of solution word’s associations with the three problem words: the Backward TRAT problems (the solution word was prefix to all three words of a problem) and the Forward TRAT problems (the solution word was suffix to all three words of a problem). An examination of performance on the two types of TRAT problems showed that the forward TRAT scores were much higher than the backward TRAT scores. Finally, the present finding also revealed that there was no gender difference on the TRAT.
