Something to think about

I thought this was cool. It reminded me of word games from my childhood.


The following short quiz consists of 4 questions and tells whether you are truly a "professional". Scroll down for the answer. 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. Andersen Consulting says this conclusively disproves the theory that most professionals have the brains of a four year old.

How do you get a giraffe into a refridgerator? You open the door and put it inside...

That sounds like some of the managers I've had before.
