Entrepreneurial Personality Test

9th Mar 2008Entrepreneurship, Personality Test

While browsing through my unpublished blog drafts I came across the results of a personality test which I apparently had planned on commenting on and publishing as a blog post. I decided to do some research and find out the source of the test, so I can share it with you in case you wanted to try it yourself. The test was the entrepreneurial personality test by The Entrepreneur Next Door. Below are my results:

    Hey Chris,

    My overall score is 72, which is about right, I suppose. Thanks for posting the link. Have a great day!

    Hey Chris,

    My score was 81 – I didn’t pay for the breakdown though. Thanks for the link, these types of self-analysis things are good opportunities for a bit of introspection now and then!

    One thought – my hunch is that a person who scores 100 would be a bit of an anomaly and likely a little unbalanced, quite possibly successful, but probably hard to find.

    Jonathan,

    I wasn’t aware there was a paid breakdown. I don’t recall seeing anything like that as an option for me.

    Jonathan,

    I just went back to the site, and found that there are actually two very similar but separate tests, the one that I took and the one that I believe you took. I just took the the one I think you took and it just gave me an overall score and the option to buy the autographed book, along with full results, or just the test results.

    Hey Chris, thank you for the link. Many people believe just starting a business makes them an entrepreneur. However, in my experience and opinion, among a few of the principles and traits of an entrepreneur – it is being creative, innovate, self-sufficient in learning ways to advertise, market, mindset and of course, investing in multiple streams of income.

    Make It A Great Day Everyday – You Absolutely Deserve It!!
