The Miller Analogies Test (MAT) is a standardized test used primarily for graduate school admissions in the USA. Created and still published by Harcourt Assessment (now a division of Pearson Education), the MAT consists of 120 questions in 60 minutes (formerly 100 questions in 50 minutes). Unlike other graduate school admissions exams such as the GRE, the Miller Analogies Test is verbal or computer based.〔http://www.amazon.com/Psychological-Testing-Principles-Applications-Issues/dp/0495095559/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1348443772&sr=1-1&keywords=psychological+testing+principles+applications+and+issues+8th+edition〕 ==Content and use== The test aims to measure an individual's logical and analytical reasoning through the use of partial analogies. A sample test question might be Bach : Composing :: Monet : *a. painting *b. composing *c. writing *d. orating This should be read as "Bach ''is to'' (:) Composing ''as'' (::) Monet ''is to'' (:) _______." The answer would be a. painting because just as Bach is most known for composing music, Monet is most known for his painting. The open slot may appear in any of the four positions. Unlike analogies found on past editions of the GRE and the SAT, the MAT's analogies demand a broad knowledge of Western culture, testing subjects such as science, music, literature, philosophy, mathematics, art, and history. Thus, exemplary success on the MAT requires more than a nuanced and cultivated vocabulary. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Miller Analogies Test」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
