       This work is a report related to the development and assessment
       of  a  Concept  Inventory  to  Introductory  Programming  (CS1) 
       Courses.  A  Concept Inventory (CI) is a set of multiple-choice
       questions    addressing    specific    misunderstandings    and   
       misconceptions  of  the  students.  In  previous works, through
       instructor  interviews,  exam  analysis,  online pilot test and
       interviews  with  students,  we  have  identified  a list of 33
       misconceptions  related  to 7 programming topics in C language.
       On  this report, we present a CI composed of 27 multiple-choice
       questions  in  C  language.  Each  possible answer, besides the
       right one, was mapped to a previously documented misconception.
       Future  work involves the CI submission to CS1 students and the
       analysis of its internal consistency and educational impact.
