The Miller Analogies Test (MAT) was a standardized test used both for graduate school admissions in the United States and entrance to high I.Q. societies. Created and published by Harcourt Assessment (now a division of Pearson Education ), the MAT consisted of 120 questions in 60 minutes (an earlier iteration was 100 questions in 50 minutes).
