The following short quiz consists of 4 questions that can tell you whether you are qualified to be a “professional.” 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?
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 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 potential.
4. There is a river you must cross but it is inhabited by crocodiles. How do you manage to get across?
Correct Answer: You swim across. All the crocodiles are attending the Animal Meeting. This tests whether you learn quickly from your previous 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.
I failed, but I think that might be a good thing unlike the smarty-pants at Anderson Consulting, who have demonstrated that, unlike most professionals, they obviously do possess the brains of a four-year-old:-)
I do have to admit the answer to Question #4 had me rolling
Hah, this was great. I failed all 4 too. 🙂
Super fun quiz.
I am in good company 🙂
I was just telling a work colleague about this quiz, he got number 2 right! The other 3 though, he got wrong, lol.
he got # 2 right, how old is he? LOLOLOL I failed all 4. Last night I gave the quiz to my husband and he read it out loud and answered loud as well, When he finally read # 4 and he said “I jump over the river, using the crocodiles as stepping stones” …I lost it, I had tears in my eyes from laughing.
Ahahaha! That’s awesome. 😀
He is actually a bit older than me, 34 I think, lol.
I also failed miserably. But I am at least glad to feel that I know have grown and no longer think like a four year old.
I am glad Miss C, I would have been disappointed in you if you would have passed 🙂
There’s another answer to #4. What if the crocodiles snuck out of the meeting early? You’ll still be fine. You can get the elephant out of the refrigerator and ride him across the river. There’s no way the crocodiles are going to mess with an elephant that’s already pissed off at having been stuffed in the fridge!
I was looking for a bridge 🙂 I have to say I like your answer 🙂
