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

do simple things in an over-complicated way.
Question #2. How do you put an elephant 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.
Explanation: This tests your ability to think through
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.
Question #4. 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 animal conference.
Explanation: 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. Anderson Consulting says this
conclusively disproves the theory that most
professionals have the brains of a four year old.
