Can a Test Identify
Business Leaders?

By KELLY SPORS
Staff Reporter of The Wall Street Journal

From The Wall Street Journal Online

Question: We design programs for women who are considering becoming entrepreneurs. Is there a test or some assessment tool that I can use in our training program to help people figure out if they’re well-suited to own a business?

– Fran Reinstein, White Plains, N.Y.

Answer: There are plenty of tests out there to help people determine if they’re good candidates for starting a business. But whether a test can really gauge who does and doesn’t make a capable entrepreneur is a subject of debate.

Many experts say there are some personality traits common among successful entrepreneurs, like the tendency to have a higher risk tolerance, drive and resiliency to overcome failure than the general population.

Author Bill Wagner offers an “Entrepreneur IQ” test at his Web site, TheEntrepreneurNextDoor.com, that compares your answers to those of others.

Another test, created by a Harvard University professor who developed a psychological profile of entrepreneurs, is available free of charge at The Wall Street Journal’s StartupJournal.com.

The Strong and MBTI Entrepreneur Report, offered through career advisers and some sites, couples results on the Myers-Briggs test, a personality test used by career counselors, with your entrepreneurial aptitude.

But not everyone agrees there is an entrepreneurial personality type. Patricia Greene, provost of Babson College, a Wellesley, Mass., college known for its entrepreneurship program, doesn’t believe there is a test that can accurately predict if someone is entrepreneurial material. You have extroverts and introverts, and people with all types of educational backgrounds becoming successful entrepreneurs. The only real distinguishing trait, she says, seems to be self-efficacy — confidence that you can build a successful business.
