What's Your Intuition about Consultants?

We have a feeling they're full of it -- intuition, that is. Use your own intuition to take our multiple-choice test.

6. It's the big break you've been waiting for: After toiling for a year as a drone, you're tapped to be a team leader. Do a good job, and you could find your career in overdrive! To assemble your make-or-break team, you:

a) go to the company's intranet, where resumes of available team members are posted - to pick a team with the right mix of experiences.
b) go to the company's intranet, where the results of Myers-Briggs tests are posted - to pick a team with the right mix of personalities.
c) go to the company's intranet, where the birthdays of potential team members are posted - to pick a team with the right mix of zodiacal signs.

7. You've established your new goal in life: You no longer expect to win an Olympic gold medal or the Nobel Prize for literature. You now wish to be richer than Bill Gates and George Soros - combined. In order to secure your financial future, you:

a) enroll at the Harvard Business School.
b) drop out of the Harvard Business School and move to an obscure state like Washington or an obscure country like Hungary.
c) get in touch with your intuitive side. After all, the one thing that Gates, Soros, and other rich guys share is intuition. They are successful because they are intuitive - and they are intuitive because they are successful.
