Humor: Professional Test
The following short quiz consists of 4 questions and
tells whether you are qualified to be a "professional".
Scroll down for the answers after you have thought about
it. The questions are not that difficult.
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 ?
Wrong Answer: Open the refrigerator, put in the elephant
and close the refrigerator.
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 actions.
3. The Lion King is hosting an animal conference, all
the animals attend except one. Which animal does not
attend?
Correct Answer: The Elephant. The Elephant is in the
refrigerator. This tests your memory.
OK, even if you did not answer the first three
questions, correctly you still have one more chance to
show your abilities.
4. There is a river you must cross. But it is inhabited
by crocodiles. How do you manage it?
Correct Answer: You swim across. All the crocodiles are
attending the animal meeting. This tests whether you
learn quickly from your mistakes.
According to Andersen Consulting Worldwide, around 90%
of the professionals they tested got all questions
wrong. But many preschoolers got several correct
answers. Anderson Consulting says this conclusively
disproves the theory that most professionals have
the brains of a four year old
.
