Abstract
A description is provided of a test for general knowledge of obscure facts from the history of psychology. Included are 120 questions that comprise the test, along with their answers. The test contains such questions as “What was the name of Clever Hans’ owner?” “What researcher first coined the term ‘reaction time’?” “In what year did Pavlov receive the Nobel prize?” Important uses for the test are suggested. All proceeds from the test will be donated to The Psychonomic Society.
