Response Biases in Multiple-Choice Test Item Files.
Mentzer, Thomas L.
Educational and Psychological Measurement, v42 n2 p437-48 Sum 1982
Evidence of biases in the correct answers in multiple-choice test item files were found to include "all of the above" bias in which that answer was correct more than 25 percent of the time, and a bias that the longest answer was correct too frequently. Seven bias types were studied. (Author/CM)
