Management
IQ Test
The following short quiz consists of 4 questions and (allegedly)
tells whether you are truly ready for 'management'.
1.
How do you put a giraffe into a refrigerator?
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?
The wrong answer is:
Open the refrigerator, put in the elephant and close the door.
The correct answer is:
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 actions.
3. The Lion King is hosting an animal conference, all the
animals attend except one. Which animal does not attend?
The correct answer is:
The Elephant. The Elephant is in the refrigerator.
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 abilities.
4. There is a river you must cross. But it is inhabited by
crocodiles. How do you manage it?
The correct answer is:
You swim across. All the Crocodiles are attending the Animal
Meeting!
This tests whether you learn
quickly from your mistakes.
According to a Leading Management Consulting firm, around 90% of
the management professionals they tested got all 4 questions
wrong.
(But many preschoolers got several correct answers.)
This conclusively disproves the theory that most management
professionals have the brains of a four year old.
