Predictive Validity of the Graduate Record Examination and the Miller Analogies Tests

Abstract

For a sample of 63 graduate students, 33 of whom did complete and 30 of whom did not complete a doctoral program in Educational Administration at the State University of New York at Albany, statistically nonsignificant point biserial coefficients of 0.140 and 0.087 were determined respectively for the total scores on the aptitude portion of the Graduate Records Examination and scores on the Miller Analogies Test relative to the dichotomous criterion of completion or lack of completion.

Academic Performance, Career Potential, Creativity, and Job Performance: Can One Construct Predict Them All?

“…Previous studies of the MAT have often arrived at different conclusions about its predictive validity (e.g., Marascuilo & Gill, 1967; Nagi, 1975; Perney, 1994; Watters & Paterson, 1953). Most of these studies have ignored the effects of statistical artifacts on the results, including differences in unreliability, range restriction, and sampling error.…”

Graduate Record Examination and Miller Analogies Test Scores: Examining Four Methods of Equivalencing

“…The choice between the two rests on the decision to include or not include the correlation in the equation. EDUCATIONAL AND PSYCHOLOGICAL MEASUREMENT 1980,40 THERE have been a number of studies regarding the relationship of the GRE and MAT, either separately or in combination, with subsequent academic performance (e.g., Felker, 1973;Krauskopf, 1973;Mehrabian, 1969;Nagi, 1975;Payne, Wells, and Clarke, 1971). Other studies have been done on retesting (Coldarci, 1960;Doppelt, 1971;Spielberger, 1959).…”
