Thailand's Police

[PhilHarries]

From the Bangkok Post

EXAMS :The Royal Thai Police Office is investigating how 161 applicants that sat an exam for the posts of non-commissioned police officers all ended up with the same score.

According to deputy police spokesman Pol Maj-Gen Ruangsak Jarit-ek, the applicants aroused suspicion as they all had the same correct and wrong answers and received the same scores in each subject.

Aren't "our" policemen wonderful?

To all get the same correct answers is one thing but it takes real professionality to coordinate the wrong ones.

I'd have thought they've already shown their aptitude as future BiB - having clearly done some excellent investigation work on the questions before they entered the exam room.

They should be hire for having 'just the right stuff'.

Well at least they can pass as detectives.

Classic. Obviously one cadet "bought" the answers to the test from one of the instructors and then had the temerity to sell the answers to the other cadets. In 20 years they will all be generals.

The worrying thing is that the instructor must have got some of the answers wrong.

Even if they all had the same answers, I'm surprised they all answered the same questions correctly.

Q24. You see a farang driving normally and correctly in bangkok. Do you?

A. Pull him over inform him he was speeding and collect 100THB.

B. Pull him over inform him he failed to stop and collect 100THB.

C. Pull him over inform him he is not wearing a seatbelt and collect 100THB

D. All of the above and collect 300 THB.

Not rocket science....

My first thought is the student would go futher than the individual who he or she brought the answers from, he or she was savy enough to sell and recoup his money and a profit. Second thought, how many answer sheets were sold with different right and wrong answers, to different individuals taking the test? Third thought, how many individuals are selling the answer sheets? Fourth thought, how many of the individuals taking the test were smart enough to change a few responses? Finally if the number of 10 were the total of 2 thru 4 what was the % of those taking the test who cheated? About the same as the % of honest policeman on duty at any one time.
