Entrepreneurship: 23 Questions

1207024_background_greenThis intellectual and personality query poses 22 questions which are generally and specifically designed to measure competitiveness, self-reliance, patience, emotional stability, flexibility, objectivity, and other important entrepreneurial traits. Evaluate yourself ahead of time to better plan your career, careers and business fields that you will enter in the future or change course and tack now.

The following twenty two questions in this examination and interview are worked out to carefully evaluate your ability to work on your own, how competitive you are in your job and life while at the same time being able to work along and with others. You may be a “team worker”. You may be a very effective “lone wolf” personality, worker and employee. In additional there are guideposts to measure emotional stability, flexibility or stubborn rigid mindless as well as emotional and workplace situational objectivity and fairness in your mental traits and assessments of others.

When you are finished, total up your score to verify and count up just how you would rate and rank as a business owner. Give yourself 4 points for each response in the “A” category, 3 points for each in the “B’ category. 2 points for “C’s”‘ and only 1 point for those that fall into the dreaded D lineup.
