The following short quiz consists of four questions and will tell you
whether you are qualified to be a "professional"??
Scroll down for each answer.
The questions are NOT that difficult. Try not to look at the answers
below
until you have thought about it awhile.

I got them all wrong.😡 😡
 
Darnit me too..😡
But then i did it again and got them all right. See I do learn from my mistakes. 😀

I only got question #3 right. My score here won't be factored into my BCPM GPA will it?
 
it could if the exam was based on a scientific nature. and i think giraffes are scientific nature. HA- you're not getting into med school!!!!!!!!! :laugh:
p
 
Ha! I flunked! Now I don't have to be a consultant 😉
 
Geee, I was a consultant.... and I got them right.. hmmm..... not a good sign?
 
I got #1 and #3 right, does that mean that I have the mind of a four year old?
 
when i looked at it last month, i got them all wrong :-(
 
hahaha best response ever! i only got 3 right too 🙁

Got 1,2,3. Tough questions. That should replace the MCAT. :laugh:
 
I got 1, 2, and 3 right as well, but I've seen this before. I don't think I saw it with the fourth question before though.
 
Very funny quiz. The logical fallacies of course being (1) Elephants and giraffes don't fit into fridges, and (2) even if they did, an adult would not assume that the questions are connected. But still hilarious.

I am a consultant, same story....

p.s. - extra funny is the fact that andersen doesn't exist anymore. points to anyone who knows who they are now. extra points to anyone who knows why you shouldn't work at that place.
 
Is this entropy or entropy2??? 😕
 
Why cant' the elephant and the giraffe be in the same refridgerater? I answered the question such that I drug the giraffe, then drag it into a HUGE refridgerator, then I drug the elephant, and drag it into the same HUGE refrigerator.

Also, obviously water animals won't attend the conference.. I mean c'mon..are the other animals going to carry the huge whale...

Even if the alligators did go to the conference, I still cross the bridge ...seriously..there has to be a bridge... I'll cross the bridge while the consultant swim across nasty water... 😛
 
My answer to #4 was to take the elephant out of the fridge and throw him in the river and swim across while the crocs feast on the elephant.

At least I can get this one right. Andersen Consulting turned into Accenture. Why you shouldn't work at that place? Not sure, are you going for it used to be part of Arthur Andersen.

haha....I just read the second part of your comment.

My answer to that is because they never fire anyone (especially new hires). Some of the people I work with are lazy and have no idea what they are doing. And the partners and senior execs are biggest experts as BSing (but I think that is true about all senior execs).
 
Gujju, how do you like working for Accenture? Are you leaving consulting to go into medicine?

Some follow up questions. How did you get involved in consulting, how is the salary?

We have a winner.

And no, it's not true about all senior execs...sorry 🙁

If you're interested in consulting for the salary, run. Run now. You don't make nearly enough to justify how much you might work. (key word is of course might)
