Scoring method

Each dimension has five questions scored from 1 to 5. The raw dimension score is converted to a 0-100 score using this formula:

dimensionScore = round((rawScore - 5) / 20 * 100)

The overall entrepreneurial skills score is the average of the six dimension scores. The test then shows your strongest dimensions, improvement areas, level, and profile type.

Score levels

Emerging (0-39)You are at an early stage and need to build core entrepreneurial habits.

Developing (40-59)You have some useful foundations but need a clearer improvement plan.

Strong Potential (60-79)You show strong entrepreneurial potential with a few important gaps.

Entrepreneurial Ready (80-100)You have a strong entrepreneurial skill profile and should focus on execution.
