  The purpose of the present research was to investigate the factorial structure of Persian version of the Multidimensional Aptitude Battery (MAB) in students’ population.First, the subtests were translated into Farsi. Then, it was retranslated into English and compared with the original version to find and correct the gaps between  the translated version and the original version. Finally, after the pilot study and resolving the mistakes, the final subtests were carried out for sample group consisting of 315 students studying in Humanities and basic Sciences in Tabriz Payame Noor University.In this study, Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) and also Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) were conducted on the 10 subtests of the MAB, using a Principal Component Analysis, with Varimax Rotation. Cattell’s scree plot and Horn’s parallel analysis indicated the two factor solutions. The results showed the two factors clearly. The first factor accounted for 41.24 % and the second factor about 14.98 % of the variance in the subtests set. As the original scale, these factors were called Performance and Verbal scales, according to subtests contents.  Manuscript profile
