• Professional Test

    Posted by Carrie Brown on February 2, 2005 at 7:55 pm

    The following short test consists of 4 questions and tells whether you are qualified to be a “professional” leader. Scroll down for each answer.

    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?
    >
    >
    >

    >
    The Wrong Answer is: To open the refrigerator, put in the elephant and close the refrigerator.

    The 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 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. This tests your memory.
    OK, even if you did not answer the first three questions correctly, you still have one more chance to show your abilities.

    4. There is a river you must cross. But it is inhabited by crocodiles. How do you manage it?
    >
    >
    >
    >
    >
    >
    >
    Correct Answer: You swim across. All the Crocodiles are attending the Animal Meeting.
    This tests whether you learn quickly from your mistakes.

    According to Andersen 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.

    In pharmacology, all drugs have two names – a trade name and a
    >>generic name. For example, the trade name of Tylenol is Acetaminophen.
    >>Aleve is known as naproxen, Amoxil is amoxicillin, and Advil is
    >>ibuprofen. The FDA has been looking for a generic name for Viagra.
    >>After consideration by a team of government experts, it recently
    >>announced it has settled on the generic name of mycoxafloppin. Also
    >>considered were mycoxafailin, mydixadrupin, mydixarizin, mydixadud,
    >>dixafix, and of course ibepokin. Pfizer Corp. is making an
    >>announcement today that Viagra will soon be available in liquid form
    >>and will be marketed by Pepsi Cola as a power beverage suitable for
    >>use as a mixer.
    >>Pepsi’s proposed ad campaign claims it will now be possible for a man
    >>to literally pour himself a stiff one.
    >> Obviously we can no longer call this a soft drink. This additive
    >>gives new meaning to the names of cocktails, highballs and just a good
    >>old fashioned stiff drink.
    >> Pepsi will market the new concoction by the name of Mount & Do.
    >> The long term implications of drugs and medical procedures must be
    >>fully considered:
    >> Over the past few years, more money has been spent on breast implants
    >>and Viagra than was spent on Alzheimer’s research.
    >> It is believed that by the year 2030, there will be a large number of
    >>women wandering around with huge breasts, and men with erections, who
    >>can’t remember what to do with them…
