==Validity==

Kuncel and colleagues investigated the predictive validity of the MAT in both academic and occupational settings. Their meta-analytic study indicated that the MAT is a valid predictor in both domains and that it measures the same abilities as other cognitive ability instruments.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Kuncel |first1=Nathan R. |last2=hezlett |first2=Sarah A. |first3=Ones |last3=Deniz S. |title=Academic Performance, Career Potential, Creativity, and Job Performance: Can One Construct Predict Them All? |journal=Journal of Personality and Social Psychology |volume=86 |issue=1 |year=2004 |pages=148–161 |doi=10.1037/0022-3514.86.1.148 |url=http://web.nsboro.k12.ma.us/algonquin/faculty/socialstudiesteachers/smith/documents/UnitTestingandIndividualDifarticle3APpsych.pdf |accessdate=19 February 2013 |pmid=14717633 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20140819083229/http://web.nsboro.k12.ma.us/algonquin/faculty/socialstudiesteachers/smith/documents/UnitTestingandIndividualDifarticle3APpsych.pdf |archivedate=19 August 2014 }}</ref> Selected validity coefficients from the study are presented in the table below.
