take teh entrepreneur quiz
thanks Dave for the pointer to: StartupJournal | Sound Advice. If you think you have what it takes to be an entrepreneur, take the quiz. If you fail miserably, you should have second thoughts. As I took it, it was interesting to note that many of the traits the quiz was honing in on were the same ones I look for in entrepreneurs when I am being a VC. Wouldn't the VC business be so much easier if we could just have a simple checklist of things like this?
Well life is not that easy, but collecting data is very important. And this quiz is one data point. And a good one.

update. the first time I took the quiz, I was a "hired hand" the lowest level. I guess that is because I admitted I was married and over 40. Then I read the "traits of entrepreneurship" and gamed it to a "latent" entrepreneur. On second look, I don't believe this thing does a very good job as it coorelates to my personal experience. It is too slanted to the one guy's book. And he is a professor. My personal experience is quite different. Hey, there is a rent-a-coder site idea, the Entrepreneur quiz site.

Interesting. I would add one trait to the profile of an entrepreneur - bristles at the idea of being profiled by a 26 question quiz...
