A convenient artifical regression based LM test of non-normality in the probit model is derived using a Gram Charlier type A alternative. The test is simply derived and may be extended to the bivariate probit case. The outer product gradient form of LM test is not used so the proposed test is likely to perform reasonably well in small samples. The test is compared with two other existing tests.
