professionalism quiz - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

ARTelevision · 05-05-2003, 02:23 PM

The following short quiz consists of 4 questions, and it will tell you
whether you are qualified to be a professional. 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?

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.

Summary: 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.

Crooky · 05-12-2003, 10:40 AM

Most of my answers involved chopping the animals up to fit them in the fridge and the animal missing from the conference was the one that the lion king ate.

I'm kinda sick I guess.

I guess i think too much... i failed. Funny how simple the answers were

galaxygirl · 05-26-2003, 05:15 PM

Over thought the first one, got the second one, missed the third, but got the forth, 50%. so I guess I'm semi-pro

morlock · 05-26-2003, 11:57 PM

Actually passed every one, surprised me, but I guess I just am weird like that or think about things logically. Ah well, I'm the first to pass 100% YAY! :P Good test though.
