Entrepreneurial Competencies

Personalized guidance report

An entrepreneur is a person who sets up a business and takes on financial risks in the hope of profit. We developed the Talent Transformation Entrepreneurial Competencies quiz to help you discover the competencies required to be an entrepreneur and help you develop them. The quiz measured some thinking patterns (cognitive), behaviors, and skills needed to be an entrepreneur:
 

1. Cognitive: Competencies related to thinking and problem-solving.  

2. Behavioral: Competencies related to personality and behavior. 

3. Skills: Expertise required to do specific tasks by applying existing knowledge and competencies.

The graph below indicates the three categories of competencies the Entrepreneurial Competencies quiz measured.

Spotting Opportunities

The ability to see potential opportunities in novel ideas.

Your personal guidance

Your responses indicate that you welcome new ideas but cannot always recognize the idea or develop the plan for it.

Understanding others

Other people might be more or less adept at spotting opportunities than you are. Therefore, understanding other individuals' levels of competence will help you better understand your competence and how to work with others effectively.

  • Individuals with a high ability to spot opportunities can recognize how to turn an idea into a business opportunity. They can create a business strategy and a plan for an idea they come across.

  • Individuals with an average ability to spot opportunities welcome new ideas but cannot always recognize the idea or develop the plan for it.

  • Individuals with a low ability to spot opportunities welcome new ideas and appreciate them. They would want to implement those ideas but may not be able or willing to plan for that.

  • Individuals who are very creative can produce novel ideas and thoughts for a business. They can also improve on an innovative idea to turn it into a business opportunity.

  • Averagely creative individuals can be creative, but not always can they think of a novel and unique idea for a business.

  • Individuals that are low on creativity may not be able to think out of the box. Novel and creative ideas may not be their area of strength. However, they could probably implement an already existing idea, well.
