Test your E-strengths (entrepreneurial strengths) before August 31
A new (2008) book titled The One Minute Entrepreneur by Ken Blanchard, Don Hutson, and Ethan Willis (Doubleday) includes a link to a website for the book. On the website is a test you can take to see if you have what it takes to be an entrepreneur. The link is www.estrengths.com.
Now, when I took the test, I found the questions pretty silly. For example (answers are on a scale of “never” to “always”:
11. I marshall additional resources when overwhelmed with work rather than turn it away.
15. Competition does not disturb me because it helps me understand what I need to do better.
See what I mean? How would you answer these questions? “Never?” Particularly if you have never been in a business before, seems to me you would have no idea how you would perform in these situations. I suggest you take it to get an idea of what characteristics would be necessary for success in practice. In other words, don’t take it too seriously.
Let me know what you think of the test and how you did.
