The spectroscopic strengths of two-nucleon transfer reactions constitute a stringent test for two-nucleon correlations in the nuclear wave functions. A set of closed analytic expressions for ratios of spectroscopic factors is derived in the framework of nuclear supersymmetry. These ratios are parameter independent and provide a direct test of the wave functions. A comparison between the recently measured 198Hg(d-->,alpha)196Au reaction and the predictions from the nuclear quartet supersymmetry lends further support to the validity of supersymmetry in nuclear physics.
