Entrepreneurial Personality Assessment

The Entrepreneurial Personality Assessment measures which aspects of a person’s personality are well-suited for owning a business, and which aspects could be problematic.

Purpose

The Entrepreneurial Personality Assessment will provide information about which aspects of a person’s personality are well-suited for owning a business, and which aspects could be problematic.

What It’s Best Used For

• Pre-Employment Screening: Vetting external job applicants early in the recruitment phase for high-drive, autonomous corporate positions or franchise candidate tracking.
• Evaluating Autonomy and Decision-Making: Measuring an individual’s “Self-sufficiency”—their core capacity to motivate themselves independently and make tough business choices without direct management input.
• Vetting Risk and Uncertainty Resilience: Checking a candidate’s behavioral comfort with taking calculated chances and managing the heavy operational uncertainty inherent in building a venture.
• Auditing Commercial Networking Skills: Assessing a person’s natural drive to proactively establish, preserve, and leverage strategic social connections to unlock new business growth.
• Predicting Work Ethic and Accountability: Reviewing an applicant’s “Conscientiousness” score to ensure they possess the organic organizational skills, dependability, and efficiency required on the job.
• Targeted Leadership Skills Development: Utilizing the report’s detailed behavioral type graphs and strengths breakdowns to build custom professional coaching blueprints for existing personnel.
