The German Aptitude Test for Medical Studies (TMS) was implemented in 2007. 12,194 persons registered for this test in 2011, which represents a 91% increase over 2007. The male/female ratio remained constant at 38:62. Its reliability among applicants to Heidelberg Medical Faculty was confirmed by Cronbach's α (≥ 0.75) and inter-item correlation (≥ 0.25, p < 10(-7)). The TMS contains nine items; using factor analysis these were allocated to the two components verbal-mathematical and spatial-figural ability. The verbal-mathematical items moderately correlate with the German Baccalaureate GPA (r = 0.33), while the spatial-figural items do not correlate (r = 0.07). Thus, the TMS is an admission instrument that appraise different cognitive abilities than the GPA. For the admission of students to our faculty their TMS scores are weighted at 39%, which has resulted in a diversification of our student cohorts.
德国医学专业能力测试（TMS）于2007年实施。2011年有12194人报名参加该测试，相较于2007年增长了91%。男女比例保持在38:62不变。克朗巴哈系数（≥0.75）和项目间相关性（≥0.25，p < 10⁻⁷）证实了其在海德堡医学院申请者中的可靠性。TMS包含九个项目；通过因子分析，这些项目被归为言语 - 数学和空间 - 图形能力两个部分。言语 - 数学项目与德国高中毕业证书平均绩点呈中度相关（r = 0.33），而空间 - 图形项目则无相关性（r = 0.07）。因此，TMS是一种评估与平均绩点不同认知能力的入学工具。对于我院学生的录取，他们的TMS成绩权重为39%，这使得我们的学生群体更加多样化。
