Take the Giraffe Test............

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 4 year old!

That may be a bit optomistic...
They should insist on this type of test for Gov-ment werk...ie: polictical office.

I think I have a memory problem, but I don't remember.

Did you ASSuME that it was a regular size frig?
Or that it was a regular size giraffe.
A fourth grader is not constrained with all the logical assumption adults possess. For them, life is simple.
