Multiple choice test has the perception of being objective because it's not graded by a teacher, who would considered to be subjective. But you have to think about the person who came up with the questions, the way the questions are phrased and the 'distractors', which are the answer choices, they are all written with someone's subjective views.

I don't think so. Just think about this. The person who writes the questions has his/her own opinion and views about whatever they are writing about. So if that's the case, how can the test be objective?
