Writing test questions

I remember back in college (this was in late 90s) I did some courses to prepare to become a K12 teacher. That never happened, but one of the classes I remember was all about writing test questions and the only thing I can really remember was a section on why it was bad to use "not" questions.

Example:

"Which if the following is not an example of:..."

But of course that textbook is long since gone - does anyone have any research I can read about this? I'm trying to convince a committee at work that asking those of employees is generally a bad idea. For people with dyslexia (like me) they always throw my brain for a loop.
