< <
< < The following short quiz consists of 4 questions and tells whether you
<are
< < qualified to be a "professional". Scroll down for each 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 to cross 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.
