Default How they test the Microsoft Managers


The following short quiz consists of 4 questions and will tell you whether
you are qualified to be a Microsoft manager. Scroll down for each answer.
The questions are NOT difficult. But don't scroll down UNTIL you have
answered the question!

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

The correct answer is: 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.


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

Did you say, Open the refrigerator, put in the elephant, and close the
refrigerator?

Wrong Answer.


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 previous actions.

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. You just
put him in there. This tests your memory. Okay, even if you did not answer
the first three questions correctly, you still have one more chance to show
your true abilities.

4. There is a river you must cross but it is used by crocodiles, and you do
not have a boat. How do you manage it?


Correct Answer: You jump into the river and swim across. Have you not been
paying attention? All the crocodiles are attending the Animal Meeting. This
tests whether you learn quickly from your mistakes.

Trolls should take just one test.

Here is the door, shut it behind you.

Why would Trolls take the test? The test is designed for Microsoft Managers
