If you could learn whether you were cut out for entrepreneurship before you started up, would you?
For some, ignorance is surely blissful. After all, many entrepreneurs say they’re glad they didn’t know how hard starting up was before they did. Others, however, may want to know sooner than later if they aren’t built for entrepreneurship or if they have weaknesses that they can work on.
MVision Consulting has recently teamed up with a team of academics at Eckerd College in St. Petersburg, Fla., who have created a test that measures the degree to which students of entrepreneurship are utilizing an “entrepreneurial mindset.” The test, dubbed the Entrepreneurial Dimension Profile, or EDP, uses a 72-question survey to measure 14 variables including independence and passion. Based on this information, the MVision Consulting offers guidance on how to improve upon those skills.
After polling 330 entrepreneurs and corporate managers, the team at Eckerd College found significant differences in each of the 14 variables, with entrepreneurs scoring higher on each one, except for interpersonal sensitivity, where they scored significantly lower than non-entrepreneurs.
