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.


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?













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.

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.

Send this out to frustrate all of your smart friends.
