Abstract
The aim of this study was to assess test takers' attitudes and beliefs about the Graduate Management Admission Test® (GMAT®) and the relationships of these attitudes and beliefs to their test performance. A set of attitude and belief items was administered by computer to GMAT test takers after they finished the test. On average, test takers reported moderately negative attitudes about whether the test was valid and moderately positive attitudes about whether the test was unbiased. Few test takers reported that they believed their test performance reflected innate ability. The results were similar for men and women and for different ethnic groups, although White test takers' attitudes about whether the test was unbiased were more positive, and more White and fewer Black test takers reported that they believed the test reflected innate ability. Test takers' reported attitudes and beliefs were slightly related to their test performance. These relationships were similar for men and women, but varied for some ethnic groups.
