Entrepreneurial Personality

While browsing through my unpublished blog drafts I came across the results of a personality test which I apparently had planned on commenting on and publishing as a blog post.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.
