The following short quiz consists of four questions and tells whether
you are qualified to be considered for companies' "professional level"
jobs.
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 question 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 question 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 question 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.
