Miller Analogies Test

• The Miller Analogies Test is a high-level mental ability test requiring the solution of problems stated as analogies.
• Research by psychologists on human intelligence and reasoning has found performance on analogies to represent one of the best measures of verbal comprehension and analytical thinking.
• Performance on the MAT is designed to reflect candidates’ analytical thinking, an ability that is critical for success in both graduate school and professional life.
• Through analogies with content from various academic subjects, MAT scores help graduate schools identify candidates whose knowledge and abilities go beyond mere memorizing and repeating information.
• The analytical skills measured by the MAT are key to success in graduate school and are highly valued by graduate programs.
• For more than 50 years, the MAT has proven to be a reliable and valid test for assessing candidates for graduate school.
• Predictive validity studies conducted by Pearson and by independent researchers have shown positive correlations between MAT scores and subsequent success in graduate programs.
