The purpose of this study was to administer the Metaphoric Ability Test and to examine the reliability of the test. The Metaphoric Ability Test was administrated to 281 normal children aged from 7;0 to 12;11, divided into 6 age groups. Internal consistency reliability and test-retest reliability were investigated. The results were as follows. The Metaphoric Ability provided normative data to assess from school age children. There was a significant relationship between the first test and the retest scores in both the metaphoric ability tests. Different age groups demonstrated different total scores with the tread of increased both score by aging. However, there were no different total scores observed by gender. The results showed that the metaphoric ability test was a reliable instrument to assess metaphoric ability from school age children.
