ABSTRACT

Unlike the Meier Art Test of Aesthetic Judgment, published data about the Meier Art Test of Aesthetic Perception (MATAP) are rare. Hence the goals of this study on the MATAP were to provide reliability and validity data and to test an alternate scoring system. With data from three samples, the MATAP exhibited unsatisfactory internal consistency and test-retest reliability. Significant, but low, positive correlations were found with the Illinois Art Ability Test, the Kuder Artistic scale, and biographical items concerning art training and interests. The MATAP correlated negatively with the Child Test of Esthetic Sensitivity. Most art related course grades and all American College Testing Program scores were not significantly related to the MATAP. The psychometric benefits of the alternate scoring system appeared marginal.
