Miller Analogies Test
Encyclopedia : M : MI : MIL : Miller Analogies Test
The Miller Analogies Test (MAT) is a 120 question, 60 minute (formerly 100 question, 50 minute) standardized test used primarily for graduate school admissions in the USA. The exam aims to measure an individual's logical and analytical reasoning through the use of partial analogies. As of the fall of 2004, the exam became computerized; test-takers can now opt to take it as a Computer-Based Test (CBT), although the pen-and-paper exam still exists.
Unlike analogies found on the GRE and the SAT, the MAT's analogies demand a broad knowledge of Western culture, testing subjects such as science, music, literature, philosophy, and history. Thus, exemplary success on the MAT requires more than a nuanced and cultivated vocabulary.
The MAT has fallen out of favor among many admissions departments, yet it is still used in the social sciences and, occasionally, in the humanities.
