A short Quiz ... the following 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
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?




























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?


































Correct Answer: The Elephant. The elephant is in the refrigerator. You just
put him in there. 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 true 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 Anderson 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.
