The Giraffe Test ~ Humor

By
Real Estate Agent with Brand Name Real Estate

Below is a quick four question test and post your results in the comment section. Have fun with this one and do your best not to look at the answers.  I left gaps between the Q and As to help from seeing the answers.


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.

 

 

 

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 the questions wrong, but many preschoolers got several correct answers.

Anderson Consulting says this conclusively disproves the theory that most professionals have the brain of a four-year-old.

I guess I'm just overly complicated when trying to answer simple questions!

I came over here to camp out for a little while tonight, but if that's the type of campground you're running here, I might have to go elsewhere -- LOL. In other words, I really messed up on that quiz.
