The Giraffe Test

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



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.

Send this out to frustrate all of your smart friends.

That was great Master Garm, lol.


Just another example of how this website teaches me to think differently.

print this off several hundred times - hand it out at the next psychology conference and see how many quit as a result

:laugh: :laugh:
i had an epic fail....got em all wrong....overcomplicating things

my responses were
1)cut off its neck at the base and fold its legs.(the question didn't specify that it had to be alive)
2)you can't(it's volume exceeds any fridge i've ever seen)
3)no answer
4)find someone to swim with you that's slower then you are.(just like the idea you don't have to be faster then the bear, just faster then your friends)


i wonder what giraffe would taste like?

Yep me too, I overthought most of it. I did get the swim the river part due to all the animals were at the meeting, although I should have at that point clued into the connective nature of first two, but nooo...I give myself a 40% on that one, although I answered half correctly, not looking back and reassessing merits a further 10% penalty...

see over thinking again bottom line, I was rubbish :laugh:

another example of people overcomplicating things:

i saw a video on youtube a while back about peeling bananas...like most people i would grab the stem and break the rind to peel a banana, sometimes this would cause a smooshed banana as the rind would not always break...then i saw the video and they mentioned how monkeys open a banana...they pinch the end (opposite the stem), this causes the rind to split on its own and you can then peel the banana with ease and not smoosh it....and to think we're supposed to be smarter then monkeys :laugh:
