Intelligence test

Postby mrP(Boonen)VT » Fri Sep 07, 2007 9:28 am

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.

You see? This is how Tunnell's mind works when he's grinding out those long slow miles in winter

Who set question 4? It is misleading. The river is not 'used by crocodiles'. They are all at the conference. This is the sort of shoddy drafting which makes the examination system a farce .... [continues till the cows come home].

Well said "used by crocodiles...", what for? Cocktail parties? badmington?

Anyway keeping with the animal theme from my answers I'm clearly think as pig s***.

If the river is used by crocodiles for leisurely boating trips on a summer afternoon then you would be quite safe swimming across while they're sipping Pimms and eating cucumber sandwiches.

I think Jon's cracked this. The animal conference is being held on a river cruiser.
