Are you
professional?
So it's not exactly cello-related.
But so many of you are CBNs, I think you'll have a good laugh
anyway.
The following short quiz consists of 4 questions and
tells whether you are qualified to be a "professional". Answer the
question before you look at the printed answers. The questions are
not that difficult.
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?
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.
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. This tests your memory.
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 the Crocodiles are
attending the Animal Meeting. 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.

that's really funny
I like that one - actually got the
second one right - I knew the elephant wouldn't fit in there with
the giraffe.

My computer programmer dad told me
that joke about a month ago. He said that's what they were
interviewing the interns with. I wouldn't be surprised if he
actually did. I can't believe it's circulating around. I failed the
quiz with flying colors.

Re: Are

So sue me. I just finished finals
for one term, and have to start another one in 6 days. And all this
cello stuff on top of it!
I think I'm entitled to some
craziness at this point.

does that make me a professional? At
least now I know the answers. (Do those questions come up very
often? Maybe at tenure time?)

I don't think I've ever failed any
test as miserably as I failed that! (Sob, sob) Oh well,
