Entrepreneurial thinking is an indicator of individual excellence that is much-needed in facing the challenges of IR 4.0. Currently, there are many psychometric instruments to measure entrepreneurial thinking, however these are not suitable for measuring the thinking of entrepreneurs among matriculation students. Thus, Matriculation Entrepreneurial Thinking Scale (METS) was developed as a new psychometric instrument. Therefore, this study focuses on the aspects of METS psychometric testing based on Rasch analysis in the context of matriculation students. A total of 378 matriculation students for the 2020/2021 session from two matriculation colleges were selected using the multistage cluster sampling method. After being analyzed using Winstep 3.71 software based on the Rasch model, 55 out of the 66 METS items had satisfied the psychometric characteristics. Ten items were dropped, but five items which were negative statements were re-entered with corrections to positive statements. The strength of Rasch analysis on calibration scale was also reported to determine the suitability of the four-point Likert scale. It is recommended that further studies should examine the effects of re-inserting negative items after being converted to positive and looking at the GDIF aspects of METS items. Good METS items are expected to benefit the measurement of new traits among future matriculation students.
