Please rate yourself in each of the below given characteristics on a scale from 1 to 5.

1 = not at all, 2 = somewhat, 3 = reasonably, 4 = pretty much, 5 = totally.

Excellence
You only compare to benchmark: you look, learn and engage in self-evaluation. You make your own
SWOT analysis in order to determine your personal Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and
Threats. You determine your next steps from there.
Nimbleness
You keep your eyes open for new opportunities. Wherever you go, you try to find sources of
inspiration. You are inquisitive, and you love to see new things and meet different people because
you can learn from them.
Tenacity
You are a go-getter. Your days are often long, and others might consider you a workaholic. Your
passion is renowned among your friends, and rejection only fuels your determination to succeed.
Resourcefulness
You are the creative mind. You try to find a way to make the best of every situation, and you turn
crises into valuable learning experiences. You nurture your creativity because you are aware that this
is the best way to stay sharp.
Endurance
You realize that success doesn’t come overnight and that greatness is a product of long and repeated
practice. You have learned that today’s rejection often leads to tomorrow’s victory, so you don’t let it
distract you from your goal.
Planning
Whenever you face a task, you start developing a strategy to accomplish it as effectively and
efficiently as possible. Depending on the complexity of the task, you will have your plan on paper or
in your head, but it’s always there.
Resilience
You know that plans don’t always work out as intended, so you develop backup strategies (plan B
and C) to ensure continuation of your progress. “Quitting” is not a word in your vocabulary.
Effort
You are a hard worker. The days you don’t have anything to do are few and far apart. You love being
productive and are passionate about your work. You are an overachiever.
Nobleness
The projects you engage in contribute to the well-being of others. If they don’t, you make sure that
at least they don’t harm anyone. You want your work to pay off, but you also appreciate a clean
conscience.
Enticement
Selling your point is crucial, so you have learned to convince others that your goals are worthwhile.
You take pride in what you do, but you are open to constructive criticism.
Uniqueness
Whether it is the nature of your product or service, the quality of your work, the way you carry
yourself, the way you approach others or anything else, something about you sets you apart, and
that something is very obvious to those who encounter you.
Reliability
This is a transparent word. Everything you do can be quickly communicated on a global scale. Being
aware of that, you keep your reputation solid. You meet deadlines, deliver quick work and remain
reasonable in your dealings.
How the score works

50 to 60: You have a strong entrepreneurial spirit. You are well aware of your qualities; you don’t like to
be micromanaged, and you find inspiration in many things to keep going and growing.

40 to 49: You are well on your way. You need more encouragement and might consider looking for a
mentor who has strong entrepreneurial skills to help you develop your entrepreneurial mind set further.

30 to 39: You are rather laid-back and easily satisfied with your circumstances. There’s nothing wrong
with that, as long as you don’t get upset when others pass you by on the career ladder.

20 to 29: You have a tendency to think negatively about others who progress faster and do better than
you. You blame things on others, and you feel the world owes you more than it has given so far.

Below 20: You will seriously have to try stepping out of the sleepwalker mode. You see the world as an
unfair place and have stopped trying. The fact that others’ efforts lead them to progress beyond you
makes you negative.
