520 3 |a Creativity is one of the most frequently cited 21st century skills, and developing creativity is one of the most often declared goals of modern education systems. However, without easy-to-use assessment instruments available for everyday application in educational practice, systematic improvement of creativity is far from a realistic option. The aim of the present study is to explore the possibility of online assessment of divergent thinking and to contribute to the development of a reliable technology-based test. The paper also investigates the relationship between divergent thinking and mathematical achievement in different dimensions. The sample for the study was drawn from sixth-grade students (N = 1,984). The computerized instrument comprising nine tasks was based on item types for divergent thinking by Torrance and by Wallach and Kogan. Our online test proved to be a reliable instrument. Based on theoretical assumptions, evidence for construct validity was provided for both the fluency–flexibility–originality and verbal–figural dimensions. Divergent thinking predicts mathematical achievement at a moderate level. The advantages of technology-based assessment made our instrument suitable for everyday school practice and large-scale assessments; however, the coding process is not yet fully automated.
