The following short quiz consists of 4 questions and will tell you
whether you are qualified to be a professional.
Scroll down for each answer. The questions are NOT that difficult.
But PLEASE don't scroll down UNTIL you have answered the question.
1. How do you put a giraffe into a refrigerator?
The correct answer is: Open the refrigerator, put in the giraffe, and
close the door. This question tests whether you tend to do simple
things in an overly complicated way.
2. How do you put an elephant into a refrigerator?
Did you say, Open the refrigerator, put in the elephant,
and close the refrigerator? Wrong Answer.
Correct Answer: Open the refrigerator, take out the giraffe, put in
the elephant and close the door. This tests your ability to think
through the repercussions of your previous actions.
3. The Lion King is hosting an animal conference. All the animals
attend... except one. Which animal does not attend?
Answer: The Elephant. The elephant is in the refrigerator. You just
put him in there. This tests your memory. Okay, even if you did not
answer the first three questions correctly, you still have one more
chance to show your true abilities.
4. There is a river you must cross but it is used by crocodiles, and
you do not have a boat. How do you manage it?
Answer: You jump into the river and swim across. Have you not been
listening? All the crocodiles are attending the Animal Meeting. This
tests whether you learn quickly from your mistakes.
According to Anderson Consulting Worldwide, around 90% of the
professionals
they tested got all questions wrong, but many pre-schoolers got
several correct answers.
Anderson Consulting says this conclusively disproves the theory that
most professionals have the brains of a four-year-old.
Send this out to frustrate all of your smart friends.
I got zero correct. How about you?
