Abstract
Over 25 studies using the Facts on Aging Quiz are reviewed. The most frequent misconceptions are identified; less educated groups have more misconceptions and are more biased against the aged; and training in gerontology improves scores. Group reliability is high but item reliability is low. Validity is supported by statistics from numerous studies.Keywords
