The Miller Analogies Test is no longer being administered as of November 2023. Transcripts and score reports are still available via Pearson’s website through November 2024.<\/div>\n

The Miller Analogies Test (MAT) was an admissions exam used by graduate schools and high IQ societies across the United States. The MAT measures your capability to recognize relationships between concepts, your grasp of the English language, and your general cross-disciplinary knowledge (humanities, math, social sciences, and more).<\/p>\n

The Miller Analogies Test contains 120 partial analogies, and you will be given one hour to complete them.<\/p>\n

<\/span>What is an MAT Analogy?<\/h3>\n

The analogies on the MAT were statements that suggested two terms were connected in some way and that two other terms were related to each other in the same way. These analogies were written using the equation form \\(A:B::C:D\\). You would read this as “A is to B as C is to D.”<\/p>\n

All analogies found on the MAT were partial, meaning one of the terms was missing. For each analogy, you would be asked to fill in the missing term using one of four answer choices provided.<\/p>\n

Here’s an example:<\/p>\n

McKinley : Roosevelt :: Kennedy :<\/strong> (a.<\/em> Eisenhower, b.<\/em> Truman, c.<\/em> Roosevelt, d.<\/em> Johnson)<\/div>\n

 
\nThis reads as “McKinley is to Roosevelt as Kennedy is to _______.” Theodore Roosevelt was William McKinley’s vice president, which means that the missing term is the person who was vice president under John F. Kennedy. Lyndon B. Johnson was Kennedy’s vice president, so choice D is the correct answer.<\/p>\n

The missing term could have appeared in any of the four positions, and there would only be one acceptable answer per analogy.<\/p>\n

<\/span>Types of Relationships<\/h3>\n

The relationships between terms in MAT analogies were grouped into four categories:<\/p>\n
