tabz2711 Report post Posted September 15, 2006 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. But don't scroll down UNTIL you have answered the question! 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. Okay, 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 used by crocodiles, and you do not have a boat. How do you manage it? Correct Answer: You jump into the river and swim across. Have you not been listening? 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

baddad Report post Posted September 17, 2006 (edited) 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. But don't scroll down UNTIL you have answered the question! 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. NO: The correct answer (according to Basic Food Hygiene standards) Is open the refigerator, put in the giraffe - making sure it's on the shelf for UNCOOKED meats, and close the door 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. Why? Assuming you're going to store large wild animals in the fridge, wouldn't you buy a model big enough to take more than one? My major concern would be to make sure that the Elephant too went onto the 'uncooked' meat shelf and that both elephant and giraffe were kept well away from the salad drawer... 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. Okay, even if you did not answer the first three questions correctly, you still have one more chance to show your true abilities. Nope - correct answer: the elephant and/or the giraffe. Additional concerns would arise over the quality of the door seal on the fridge, and the whereabouts of the animal that didn't show up, as if one had escaped the fridge it would be reasonablt to assume that the other could too... I'd be worried that the crocodiles (see q4) had got it... 4. There is a river you must cross but it is used by crocodiles, and you do not have a boat. How do you manage it? Correct Answer: You jump into the river and swim across. Have you not been listening? All the crocodiles are attending the Animal Meeting. This tests whether you learn quickly from your mistakes. Alternatively, you could just take the ferry/find someone who does have a boat, or possibly use that fridge with a broken door seal as a boat, 'cos it's not much good for keeping large wild animals in anymore, is it? 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. According to baddad consulting services, this entirely proves the theory that consulting services and training seminars are a waste of time and money. rather than treaching staff about chilling elephants, why not teach them how to answer the bl**dy phone properly, or take the gum out of their mouths when talking to a customer?
