The refrigerator test
You will be asked four questions and you must rely on your common sense to answer them correctly.

According to Andersen consulting worldwide, around 90% of the professionals they tested got all of the questions wrong. But many pre-school children got several correct answers. Andersen consulting says this conclusively disproves the theory that most professionals have the brains of a four year old.

 

Q1. How do you put a giraffe into a refrigerator?

 

Correct Answer: 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. 

 

Q2. How do you put an elephant into a refrigerator?

 

Wrong Answer: Open the refrigerator, put in the elephant and close the refrigerator. 

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 actions.

 

Q3. The Lion King is hosting an animal conference. All the animals attend, except one. Which animal does not attend?

 

Correct Answer: The elephant, since it is still in the refrigerator. 

This tests your memory. 

 

Even if you did not answer the first three questions correctly, you still have one more chance to show your abilities.

 

Q4. There is a river you must cross, but it is inhabited by crocodiles. How do you manage it?

 

Correct Answer: You swim across. All of the crocodiles are attending the meeting!

This tests whether you learn quickly from your mistakes.

I have more 'common sense' then I would've ever guessed q:
Anywho...
This test is still pretty dumb.

the first two questions should say "THE" refrigerator not "A" refrigerator because using a in the sentance makes it very vague where you could easily argue there are two refrigerators

I got all answers right... Because all of them are often-asked questions in guessing games when I was smaller! I don't remember if I had answered the third and fourth questions correctly back then, though... But I knew I had the first and second one right! :D

The test claims to be based on 'common sense' yet the answers have unrealistic conclusions that anyone could come up with.

i got the first 3 right but for last one i thought "put them in refrigerators?"

Gigi~~ all the alligators are gone. they live in the river but none of them are there so you just swim across. Hope that helps!

after three questions i got the fourth right, as i realized they all had something to do with each other, so when everyone but the elephant attended the meeting i knew that there were no crocodiles in the river..

My 6 yr old answered one of the questions right; I didnt answer any right, but laughed after reading each "correct answer."
