Management Exam
The following short quiz consists of 4 questions and will tell you whether you are qualified to be a professional manager. The questions are NOT difficult.
1. How do you put a giraffe into a refrigerator?
2. How do you put an elephant into a refrigerator?
3. The Lion King is hosting an animal conference. All the animals attend...except one. Which animal does not attend?
4. There is a river and you must cross but it is used by crocodiles, and you do not have a boat. How do you manage it?
Have you thought about the questions and answered them to the best of your ability?....Only if you did answer them can you look at the answers below.
The correct answer to No. 1 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.
No. 2, 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.
No. 3 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.
No. 4 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 World-wide, around 90% of the professionals they tested got all questions wrong, but many pre-schoolers got several correct answers. Anderson Consulting says this conclusively disproves the theory that most professionals have the brains of a four-year-old.
