Management IQ Quiz


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?
























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.

Isn't this the same Company that changed their name from Arthur Anderson? If it is, it explains a lot.......

Da%$. Even after seeing this before I didn't get them all right. I guess I'm destined to be a tractor operator instead of an executive /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

here is one in the same style.
question one... you enter a room that contains only a stove with one burner lit, and a kettle of water on the floor. what do you do to make the water boil?












answer..... pick up the kettle and put it on the lit burner.

question two...... you enter a room containing only a stove with one burner lit, and a kettle of water on a table. what do you do to make the water boil.











answer.....put the kettle on the floor.

this answer is used to screen job applicants to find those that will be sure to follow thw chain of command and company protocol.

Guess I never will follow the rule of "chain of command". I don't understand the 2nd question.........

 

[woodmills1]

since the answer to the first question implys that it is ok to move kettle from floor to burner the second answer only introduces the movement from table to floor with the understanding that it is now ready to be treated like in the first question. sort of like following stupid rules or computer code.

if a conveinence store is open 24 hours a day, why does it need locks on the door?
