Whether or not this is true or accurate, it is still amusing.....see how many of these you get right..... Wink

A short Quiz. Good Luck...

The following short quiz consists of 4 questions and will tell you
whether you are qualified to be a "professional." Scroll down for
each answer. The questions are NOT that difficult. Try not to look
at the answers below until you have thought about it awhile.

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 in 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 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 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.

Anderson Consulting has nothing to do with that and they definitely don't use it to test prospective employees.

But it IS rather funny!

.....Hence the disclaimer that this was only something I received, not an honest-to-goodness valid test or anything....merely a humerous little quiz. Wink

1. Because the giraffe is no longer there.

2. Because the refrigerator seems to have expanded from the last time you opened it.

Am I right?

Probably not. Wink
