The idea
Selected-response items, such as multiple-choice, matching and true-false, test recognition rather than recall; their objective scoring raises reliability, but a test made only of them can lower validity.
In practice
Multiple-choice suits vocabulary; it cannot show whether a student can write a persuasive essay.
Where people slip
Align the format to the goal.
