Jungle Stories - The Giraffe Test

THE GIRAFFE TEST
1. How do you put a giraffe into a refrigerator?
Stop and think about it and decide
on your answer before you scroll down.

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 four-year-old.
