MANAGEMENT EXAM
The following short quiz consists of 4 questions and will tell you
whether
you are qualified to be a professional manager.
Scroll down for each answer.
The questions are NOT 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.
Send this out to frustrate all of your smart friends.
PS: Just the fact that I sent it to you should make you feel good.
