Abstract
Some of the problems surrounding the use of true-false tests of psychological misconceptions are discussed. The development of a new 62-item, multiple-choice test of misconceptions designed to reduce these problems is outlined. The test was given to 79 students in introductory psychology. Reliability, validity, and normative data are provided. A comparison of the interest level of each item's topic allows psychology professors a reasonable criterion for deciding which misconceptions to discuss in class.
