Verbal reasoning, think about these long and hard.. 
  
Question #1. How do you put a giraffe into a refrigerator?

Wrong Answer: Open the refrigerator door, put in the
elephant, and then close the refrigerator door. 
  
Correct Answer: Open the refrigerator, take out the
giraffe, put in the elephant, and then close the door.

the repercussions of your actions. 



  
Question #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. 
  
Explanation: 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.

is inhabited by crocodiles. How do you manage it?

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