Thanks to Pam P.

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

[Open the refrigerator, insert the giraffe and close the door.  The 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 door.”?   Wrong!   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?

[The elephant. The elephant is in the refrigerator.  You just put him there.  This tests your memory.]

4.  There is a river you must cross but it is inhabited by crocodiles.  How do you manage it.?

[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.  Andersen Consulting says this conclusively disproves the theory that most professionals have the brains of a four-year-old.
