Are you management material

The following short quiz consists of 4 questions and it will tell you whether you are qualified to be a professional. Scroll down for each answer. The questions are NOT that difficult.

1. How do you put a giraffe into a refrigerator?

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?

Wrong Answer: Did you say, “Open the refrigerator, put in the elephant, and close the refrigerator?”

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.

Would that be the consulting arm of the formerly bankrupt Enron Cheerleader Arthur Andersen?

Which, of course, is now Accenture.

Which, of course, is now running BC Hydro for us….

So, how would Kenny Boy Lay cross that River?

Answer: By walking across the bodies of pensioners that lost their pensions when Enron tanked.

Sorry to be so cranky Doug….was fun taking the test. I failed, miserably.

Wanna be even more cranky? Enron isn’t gone, it’s only done a corporate morph: now known as EOG Resources.
