< < < < < < < Subject: Professionalism Quiz
< < < < < < <
< < < < < < <
< < < < < < < < 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. Anderson Consulting says this conclusively
< < disproves
< < < the theory that most professionals have the brains of a four year old.
