United States FBI agents were taking a test to make sure they understood the 2008 Domestic Investigations and Operations Guidemake , “The exam involved guidelines adopted in December 2008 for domestic FBI investigations and operations, rules that have been criticized by civil liberties groups.” Many people received items with study guides and answers for the test. It was an open book test where they could use items they have gathered, the only rules was they couldn’t speak or make communications with anyone else taking the test. Many of the employees finished the exam 70 minutes early for a 90 min test. On the test it had a question at the end asking “ to certify that they did not consult anyone while taking the test”. Many people who cheated clicked the box saying they received no help on the exam actaully recieved help of some sort. FBI employees are people who have to follow many different types of ethics, if they cheat on an exam, who really know what they really do behind the scenes.
I was actually reading an article similar to this and data shows that people who says that they do not cheat are the ones who do and people who think cheating is okay usually do not cheat. I agree that it is unethical and hypocritical for students to be doing this let along government officials.
