Entrepreneurial potential self-assessment

How to interpret your results?
Your results are displayed with blue horizontal bands. A red vertical band shows the mean score of
entrepreneurs.

If the horizontal range of your results does not exceed the vertical range, it means that your results
for this dimension are below the average obtained by entrepreneurs.

If the horizontal range exceeds the vertical range, your results are above average.

Note
This questionnaire was prepared on the basis of research and observations of the characteristics of Canadian
entrepreneurs in all industry sectors. On average, entrepreneurs tend to obtain overall results that are higher
than those of the general population, and this for all characteristics. Granted, the mere fact of obtaining or
failing to obtain results in line with those of entrepreneurs is not enough to indicate your potential as an
entrepreneur. Many other factors come into play, including your personal circumstances, your milieu, your
experience, timing, etc. What these results will do, however, is allow you to compare your answers to those of
a group of entrepreneurs, and to note where they are the same and where they are different.
