The Smart Test


                    A Test for All You Professionals

          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?
          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.

          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.
