Entrepreneur Assessment


To help individuals determine whether running their own business is a good fit with their interests and personality, the Entrepreneur Assessment is based on the results of three powerful behavioral assessments. There are four ways in which these results help explore starting a small business:
  • Results on the inventories are compared with the results of business people.
  • A job description detailing the tasks required to run a business is provided and how the individual’s interests and personality preferences fit with those tasks is evaluated.
  • The individual’s personal styles related to work, learning, leadership, and risk taking are compared with the styles of small business owners.
  • This report ends with a summary and ideas for further exploring independent business options.
