Professional
or Not? Ask your audience to take a little scientific
test designed to determine if a person is a professional. Have them write their
answers down.
1. How do
you put a giraffe in a refrigerator?
Correct answer: Open the door and put him in.
2. How you
put an elephant in a refrigerator?
Correct answer: Take out the giraffe and put in the elephant.
3. The Lion
King is hosting a conference. All of the
local animals are in attendance but
one. Who is not present?
Correct answer: The elephant, he is still in the
refrigerator.
4. You are
slated to be the final speaker at the conference. Unfortunately, to get there
you have to swim
a river inhabited by crocodiles. What do
you do?
Correct answer: You swim; all of the crocodiles are all ready
at the conference.
Point: A professional looks
for the simplest solution (#1). Keeps
things simple (#2).
Recalls facts (the elephant
is still in the refrigerator and thus can’t go to the conference-#3).
And, uses his/her deductive
skills in problem solving (the crocodiles are at the conference- #4). Side note:
most four year olds score 100% on this.
