BACKGROUND: The purpose of the present study is to develop the Moral Identity Test (MIT) which measures the moral identity of primary school children. METHODS: The present study was designed as survey research and 516 primary school children were included in the sample. Data were analysed with corrected item-total correlation, exploratory factor analysis (EFA), internal consistency analysis, convergent validity analysis, and item response theory (IRT). RESULTS: As a result of the data analysis, it was found that the MIT consists of one construct with ten items and its internal consistency coefficient is .93. CONCLUSIONS: It was concluded that the MIT can generate reliable and valid results in measuring the moral identity of primary school children whose ages vary between 7 and 11 years
