Abstract

A multiple-choice item is called ideal if all its alternatives are equally attractive to every person who cannot answer the item correctly without guessing. This paper discusses reasons for attempting to construct ideal items, develops methods for testing whether items are ideal or at least more nearly ideal than other items, and presents examples of both ideal and nonideal items.
