Cheating on tests is not only an ethical issue, but also adversely affects test validity. In this study, we administered a questionnaire to working people in their 20s and 30s who had taken an employment examination via a web test. We then asked whether they had ever cheated on an employment examination using direct questioning and item count technique. The survey found that between 1.9% and 5.1% had experienced cheating. This percentage is not small. For web testing to become more widely used as a tool to properly measure examinees' abilities, it is necessary to further improve the methods of preventing and detecting cheating.
