Your welcome

Well done - most of you gave correct answers - You jump into the river and swim across.

All the crocodiles are attending the Animal Meeting.

B*gger the elephant - it was a job getting him into the fridge so he can stay there!

According to Anderson Consulting Worldwide, around 90% of the
Professionals they tested got all of the questions wrong, but many pre-school kids got several correct answers.

Does this mean that OOFers are more like pre-school kids than professionals?

That's a little patronizing. Yes i'm very childish but there's more than one train of thought in the world of commerce, there is life beyond the desk. Try not to talk down to the pre-schoolers.

  Lighten up   :-?

[Mr Skrunts]

So does that mean Mark is more like a Pre School kid and I am more like a professional.  


Ohhh, I dont think so.  

[Mr Skrunts]

Can I shoot the firking ball under your Penguin, it's doing my head in.  

[maria]

Don't take every thing to heart amigo as it was not intended to be said like that i'm sure and as dbug said lighten up and go with the flow

On checking further pre-schoolers won over. Maybe a younger less jaded mind equates to better lateral thinking?
   That's me down the pan then!!!!!!!!!!

I have been watching this thread all evening, and it has all the hallmarks of the business consultants I have come across during 40 years in the commercial management field.  Finally tonight I have been able to laugh at these tests which has been great!

But when faced by them when you know the consultants have no real idea about your company, come along with ideas that are unrealistic, also in many instances being plain absurd due to their inabilities, and costing an absolute fortune to hire, it is no laughing matter.

Some psychological profiling can be very useful to a business manager of a large workforce as I discovered some years ago, but
all too often consultants  come up with strange so called "scientific" ways of assessing a companies workforce and its business, that in the end can destroy the soul of it, let alone its financial standing, without contributing much, if any, to the bottom line profit.

The above "tests", if genuine, are very funny though!  

Just, please, no one take them seriously!!

I remember a good friend of mine expecting to be asked these questions at an interview, he simply answered, "Kill the Elephant, butcher it then place in the fridge as you would with steak, as they taste nicer than giraffe"
Imagine the interviewers face  He got the job with the debt agency!

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!  He's still at large, I'm affraid

That would be the type of answer the interviewer would want to hear;

your friend was prepared to be ruthless to achieve the objective.
Good one!!

Don't believe anything these people say!  This lot are the ones who decided to change their name to Accenture as they screwed up so many Government IT contracts that their name became a joke - other consultants used to refer to them as Androids.  

Hope that's not libellous.

Anyway, the correct answer is to turn up the fridge to its maximum, freeze the elephant, take him out, put him on his back in the water like a small grey iceberg and paddle across.    

[Gaffers]

I honestly answered Q4 with take the elephant out of the fridge and use it as a canoe  

[dbug]

Hope everyone enjoyed that - it was meant as a bit of light relaxation.  I have been around psychological profiling most of my business life in various forms, and whilst this is a true "test", I thought it would be a bit of fun to try it on OOF.

By the way quite like the idea of freezing the elephant and using it as a boat!

  And yes Skruntie, if my bouncing ball is p*ssing u off u may have a pot at it. [smiley=2vrolijk_08.gif]

So what are the correct answers then

Hi Maria. As you & Lizzie both rightly said... i jumped in without looking again! Having read further i see how the post was intended & the resulting funny side. I'm mellowing with age but can hold my hands up when in the wrong!!!
