This study examined the relationship between the Matrix Analogies Test‐Short Form (MAT‐SF) and the Stanford‐Binet Intelligence Scale: Fourth Edition and academic achievement as measured by the Kaufman Test of Educational Achievement‐Brief Form (KTEA‐BF). The subjects were 71 referred students who were attending a large urban school district. The results supported the concurrent and criterion‐related validity of the MAT‐SF. This brief nonverbal intelligence test correlated significantly with the Stanford‐Binet Areas and Test Composite ( r = .73) and with the Math, Reading, and Spelling scores of the Brief Form of the KTEA ( rs = .44, .44, and .38, respectively).
