Do You Have Entrepreneurial Personality?
Kelly Spors at the Wall Street Journal asked if a test could really predict whether you have the personality for entrepreneurialship or be successful as an entrepreneur. A Harvard professor who studied entrepreneurs came up with this test, which I took. Here’s my result:
Since I’m currently an entrepreneur, I’m not surprised to see the a confirmation of the result. I’m also not surprised to see that I score lower on the other 2 attributes, knowing my personality.
I’d be interested to hear from those of you who are entrepreneurs but score higher on either of the other 2 attributes (affiliation, power), those of you who score high on all 3 attributes, or those of you who want to become entrepreneurs but didn’t get a “typical” entrepreneur score.

Nice find Jane! My achievement score came in at 54 while my Affiliation came in at 51 (Power was 35), so I too am interested in seeing what a high affiliation or power score produces.
(BTW, not sure if you’re aware but the image of your results shows up correctly in IE, but not Firefox for some reason – probably not a big deal but might want to look into it)

* Never mind about my image comment, it’s showing properly in Firefox now, just needed a refresh.

Tomas – looks like you’ve got a pretty good balance between achievement and affiliation! Probably means you’re a “power networker”

Aw shucks Jane, that’s the nicest thing a blogger has ever said about me.
