Do Professionals have the brains of a four year old?

Do Professionals have the brains of a four year old?

The following quiz consists of four questions and is not that hard. Don't scroll down until you've answered...

1. How do you put a giraffe in a refrigerator?






The correct answer is: You open the refrigerator door, put the giraffe in, then close the door. This question tests whether you do simple things in an overly complicated way.


2. How do you put an elephant into a refrigerator?




Did you say, 'open the door, put in the elephant, and close the door?

Wrong answer.....

Correct answer: Open the refrigerator door, take out the giraffe, put in the elephant, close the door. This test your ability to think through the repercussions of your previous actions.


3. The Lion King is hosting an anilmal conference. All the animals attend.... except one. Which one?


Correct answer: The elephant. He's in the refrigerator, you just put him in there remember? This tests your memory. If you got this one correct, congrats, if not you have one more chance......


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?



A: You jump in the river and swim across. Have you not been listening? All the animals are at 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 the questions wrong, but many preschoolers got several questions correct. Anderson Consulting says this conclusively disproves the theory that most professionals have the brains of a four year old.

Talking

Imagine yourself driving along on a wild stormy night. You pass by a bus stop, and you see three people waiting for the bus:

1. An old lady who is about to die.

2. An old friend who once saved your life.

3. The perfect man (or) woman you have been dreaming about.

Which one would you choose, knowing that there could only be one passenger in your car. This is a moral/ethical dilemma that was once actually used as part of a job application. You could pick up the old lady, because she is going to die, and thus you should save her first; or you could take the old friend because he once saved your life,
and this would be the perfect chance to pay him back. However; you may never be able to find your perfect dream lover again.

Think..... DOn't look at the Answer! That's cheating!











Now here it is:
Answers could vary depending on the personality. However; there is a perfect answer. If you are a person who would think "out of the box" you would answer: "I would give the car keys to my old friend and let him take the old lady to the hospital. I would stay behind and wait for the bus with the woman (or man if you are a woman) of my dreams."

lol

This is a funny test. But it is designed in a way for children to get the "right" answers (the answers are subjective). This type of test, in no way, can measure the intelligence of an adult.

That's the stupidest test ever because kids are idiots. You can't put a goddamn giraffe or elephant in a fridge. And who's to say the answers given are the absolute answer? It's subjective and arbitrary.

Cool

Hi,
lol if you made a gigantic fridge, you will be able to put an elephant in it KISS keep it simple stupid.
Once there was this famous scientist, he wants to hire an assistant. Quite a few people came for the interview, on the table they saw a cup of water. The scientist ask if anyone can tell him the volume of the water inside the cup. Most of the people in the interview starts tap their heads to think of the math equation they've learned in University, scrabbling on paper, trying to find out the volume. Except for one young guy, who never even went to university, he simply asked the scientist for a beaker, then fill it with the water in the cup. Immediately, he told the scientist what the volume is by looking at the scale on the beaker.
It just showed us that this world is becoming crazier and more complicated every day, keep it simple and stupid is still the best solution.

Have Fun,
Nick
