本測驗為一多因素性向測驗組合,包括語文推理、數學能力、科學推理、知覺速度與確度、空間關係、抽象推理、字詞釋義、文法修辭等八個分測驗,目的在同時測量學生多方面潛能,提供教育和生涯輔導與諮適上的重要資訊。本測驗共編製國中和高中兩種水準,國中版適用對象為國中二、三年級學生,高中版適用對象為高中一、二年級學生。本測驗標準化樣本包括國二學生940人、國三學生1049人、高一學生788人、高二自然組學生831人、高二社會組學生732人,本測驗提供國二、國三、高一、高二自然組、高二社會組男、女學生各分測驗原始分數與百分等級、T分數和標準九常模對照表。在信度研究方面,本測驗估計各分測驗之穩定係數和庫李信度係數。在效度研究方面,以本測驗分數與《多因素性向測驗》和《高一性向測驗》分數的相關、本測驗分數和學對成績的相關、各分測驗分數間的相關,以及年級間的修讀組間的分數差異分析來進行效度研究。各項信、效度分析的結果顯示本測驗之信度和效度頗令人滿意。
The purposes of this project were to develop and standardize the Multiple Aptitude Test Battery for high school students. This battery of tests is designed to measure students’ ability to learn or to succeed in a number of different areas, and to provide a basis for educational and career guidance and counseling for the high school students. The battery consists of eight tests: Verbal Reasoning, Mathematical Ability, Scientific Reasoning, Perceptual Speed and Accuracy, Space Relations, Abstract Reasoning, Verbal Comprehension, and Grammar and Language Usage. It comprises two levels that collectively measure the aptitudes of students in grades 8 to 11. Level One is designed primarily for students in grades 8 and 9, and Level Two is designed primarily for grades 10 and 11. The standardization samples included 940 8th graders, 1049 9th graders, 788 10th graders, 831 11th graders majoring in science and technology, and 732 11th graders majoring in social science and arts. The percentile rank, T-score, and stanine norm tables were constructed for male and female students for each subgroups. The findings based on the reliability and validity studies for this test battery indicated that the reliability coefficients and validity evidences of the test battery generally were satisfactory.
