Someone pulled this on me via phone last night... so my revenge is passing it on. I checked snopes to see if it is an urban legend, it just seems to fit the bill of one, but I can't find it. Anyhow urban legend or not, you get some fun answers as you are trying to out-think the quiz once you realize the direction it is going.... I am going to post one question at a time... you can look at all first, or try to answer, better yet, those of you with children, I would love to know what your children answer!! Thinking Quiz This short quiz from Andersen Consulting will help you understand your thinking style better. The questions aren't difficult and you can scroll down for the answers. 1. How do you put a giraffe into a refrigerator? _________________________ Asu no koto o ieba, tenjo de nezumi ga warau. Talk about things of tomorrow and the mice in the ceiling laugh. (Japanese Proverb)

Hang up the phone. The only thing worse than a fool asking a foolish question is a fool answering a foolish question. You still get a "five" from me for its amusing aspects.

hey, I got one right. :) and I think I should get points for the 2nd answer, which was correct but not what was in the book. ;) I argued that with my prof in college and won, I think the same applies. :)

I am sending it home with one of the guys who has a 4 year old... I may take it over to the engineering admin asst and see if she will ask her son. I don't believe the kids will be any less right or wrong, I think it will be random because of the type of questions. But I have been wrong before. :) _________________________ Asu no koto o ieba, tenjo de nezumi ga warau. Talk about things of tomorrow and the mice in the ceiling laugh. (Japanese Proverb)

Question #4: Correct Answer: 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 four-year olds. Any one have any creative answers from their 4 year olds or themselves they'd be willing to share? especially the 4 year olds? I had #3 right, #2 as expected wrong, and for #4 I said "take the elephant out of the refridgerator and ride him across the river..." which I thought was a better answer than the correct one anyhow... because I wouldn't even get wet! _________________________ Asu no koto o ieba, tenjo de nezumi ga warau.

Someone I knew at University claimed that they had genuinely had this quiz from an interviewer recruiting for Accenture, and that they were actively looking for people who got all four questions 'right'. Presumably they thought it indicated creative thinking. What it actually indicates is that consultants have no idea of the scale of a problem, no idea about limitations on resources, are capable of leading themselves down blind alleys one illogical step at a time, and no clue about the world around them. If any developer got the answers to these questions 'right', and they hadn't already seen it, I certainly wouldn't hire them. Stability. What an interesting concept. -- Chris Maunder
