Entrepreneurship Within You: A Strength-Based Self-Assessment

Purpose

This assignment is designed to help you explore your entrepreneurial potential through a structured self-assessment.

Unlike traditional assessments, this activity does not classify individuals as “entrepreneurs” or “non-entrepreneurs.” Instead, it helps you understand:

• your natural tendencies
• your strengths
• your approach to decision-making
• your orientation toward ethics, sustainability, and impact

Entrepreneurship exists in different forms within every individual. This assessment helps you identify how it exists within you.
