The paper considers some properties of measures of asymmetry and peakedness of one dimensional distributions. It points to some misconceptions of the first and the second Pearson coefficients, the measures of asymetry and shape, that frequently occur in introductory textbooks. Also it presents different ways for obtaining the estimated values for the coefficients of skewness and kurtosis and statistical tests which include them.
