The question is not whether entrepreneur is right for you but, rather, are you right for entrepreneurship? Can you handle the stress, the freedom, the lack of structure, the uncertainty, and the opportunity that awaits if you decide to start your own business? This really can't be stressed enough. While there is no doubt that being in business for yourself can be great, if you are not temperamentally cut out for it, it will be a tough road. There is no shame in this. Some people are artists and others are lawyers, some are vagabonds while others are homebodies, some are entrepreneurs and some are not.
So which are you? In order to assist you, take the following quiz. It will help you evaluate your qualifications. The important thing though, as you take the quiz, is to be perfectly honest. There is no point in answering the questions "right" if it's not true for you.
Scoring:
80 - 100:
You have both the temperament and the skills to become an entrepreneur..
60 - 79:
You are not a natural entrepreneur, but may become one over time.
Below 60:
You would be wise to think of something else to do besides self-employment.
So there you have it. Not only should this quiz help you understand your Entrepreneurship IQ, but it should equally give you some insight into the traits and characteristics of the prototypical entrepreneur.
