assignment details:
You are required to do a deep dive on YOU to find your true strengths and psychological preferences (Strength Finder). This experience will be a process of taking two mini-assessments that will help you discover your true strength zones. As Peter Drucker states: “Most people think they know what they are good at. They are usually wrong. . .And yet, a person can perform only from strengths.”
I would like to have you take the Jung Typology Test found on line at:
www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/JTypes2.asp
(Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.
. This is an assessment that looks at your personality type (how you perceive the world and make decisions) and helps you understand where most people with similar types of personalities are the happiest.
And I would also like you to take the BDC Entrepreneurship Potential Self-assessment:
http://www.bdc.ca/EN/advice_centre/benchmarking_tools/Pages/entrepreneurial_self_assessment.aspx (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.
(Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.After you take these two assessments, I would like you to write a two-page description of what you found and possibly didn’t know about yourself! Feel free to compare your findings with other people who have also scored on the same scale as you did and see what they have accomplished.
PLEASE breakdown your scores so that I can clearly see how you did on each of these assessments.

Note
This questionnaire was prepared on the basis of research and observations of the characteristics of Canadian entrepreneurs in all industry sectors. On average, entrepreneurs tend to obtain overall results that are higher than those of the general population, and this for all characteristics. Granted, the mere fact of obtaining – or failing to obtain – results in line with those of entrepreneurs is not enough to indicate your potential as an entrepreneur. Many other factors come into play, including your personal circumstances, your milieu, your experience, timing, etc. What these results will do, however, is allow you to compare your answers to those of a group of entrepreneurs, and to note where they are the same and where they are different.
