jq - How to select objects where a field is 'false'?

Question

I'm having trouble implementing boolean checks into jq. If I have a field "test" which can be a boolean true or false, how do I use select to find this?

Initially I tried the following:

jq '.[] | select(.test=="false")'

But I think I am comparing strings here so this will not work.

The JSON boolean values are true and false, so just drop the quotation marks, e.g. select(.test == false).
