Managers Test <br /><br /> <br /><br />The following short quiz consists of 4 questions and will tell you whether you are qualified to be a professional manager.<br />Scroll down for each answer.<br />The questions are NOT that difficult. <br />But don't scroll down UNTIL you have answered the question! <br /><br />1. How do you put a giraffe into a refrigerator? <br />> <br />> <br />> <br />> <br />> <br />> <br />> <br />> <br />> <br />The correct answer is:<br />Open the refrigerator, put in the giraffe,<br />and close the door. This question tests whether you tend to do simple things in an overly complicated way. <br /><br />2. How do you put an elephant into a refrigerator? <br />> <br />> <br />> <br />> <br />> <br />> <br />> <br />> <br />Did you say, Open the refrigerator, put in the elephant, and close the refrigerator? <br />Wrong Answer. <br />><br />><br />><br />><br />><br />><br />><br />Correct Answer:<br />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. <br /><br />3. The Lion King is hosting an animal conference.<br />All the animals attend...except one. Which animal does not attend? <br />> <br />> <br />> <br />> <br />> <br />> <br />> <br />> <br />> <br />> <br />> <br />Correct Answer:<br />The Elephant.<br />The elephant is in the refrigerator. You just put him in there, remember?<br />This tests your memory.<br /><br />Okay,even if you did not answer the first three questions correctly, you still have one more chance to show your true abilities. <br /><br /><br />4.There is a river you must cross but it is always used by crocodiles, and you do not have a boat. How do you manage it? <br />> <br />> <br />> <br />> <br />> <br />> <br />> <br />> <br />Correct Answer:<br />You just jump in the river and swim across.<br />Have you not been listening? <br />All the crocodiles are attending the Animal Meeting.<br />This tests whether you learn quickly from your mistakes. <br /><br />According to Anderson Consulting Worldwide, around 90% of the professionals they tested got all questions wrong, but many preschoolers got several correct answers. <br /><br />Anderson Consulting says this conclusively disproves the theory that most professionals have the brains of a four-year-old. <br /><br />Send this out to frustrate all of your smart friends. <br /><br />PS: If this was posted before please forgive me, I also flunked the test.
