This study examined the test-retest reliability of the Matrix Analogies Test-Short Form over a 4-wk. interval for 43 students (77% white), 20 boys and 23 girls in regular fifth grade classrooms (9 yr.-5 mo. to 13 yr.-11 mo.). In raw scores the test-retest (4-wk. interval) Pearson r was .78 indicating fair reliability. There was a modest difference (p = .05) between test (23.98) and retest (25.42) mean raw scores. Implications for test use are discussed.
