The following short quiz consists of 4 questions and will tell you whether you are qualified to be a "professional."
The questions are NOT that difficult.

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?

.

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.

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 true 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 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.
