Introduction
The report will reflect the outcomes of the Enterprising Tendency Test which has been done by
me. The entrepreneurship is the procedure to create, introduce and run a new company, mostly a
small firm. The test will reveal the qualities and features of entrepreneurship in me. This will be
conducted by my need for success, independence, risk-taking strength, creative power, and
management qualities. The article will explain the antecedent aspects and its impact on the
business. The paper will also discuss the importance of work environment, education and family
background on the entrepreneurs and their business.
Enterprising Tendency Test
The Enterprising Tendency Test is a method of the tendency to begin and control any new
projects. Most of the individuals had the tendency to often take up innovative ventures, and are
more inclined to extend and develop the ventures (O’Brien, Osbaldiston and Kendall, 2014). The
tendency towards innovation is measured by GET2 test by concentrating on the innovative
features. The five innovative features are; the need for achievement, need for autonomy, creative
tendency, calculated risk-taking and locus of control. The main objective of this test is to know
that a good entrepreneur has the all the qualities of these innovative features. My overall GET2
score is 63% which means that I have some the qualities of innovativeness to become a good
entrepreneur.
Need for Achievement
The result of the test shows that my need for achievement is medium. This means that I have the
quality to be more motivated than some persons and less inspired than most of the entrepreneurs.
These types of persons are inclined to be comfortable than most of the businessmen, which is
good for their health but bad for their achievements. However, they have the advantage to
analyze the significance of their targets and the effects of the failure or success on their private
life.
Need for Autonomy
My need for autonomy score from the test presents that it is medium. This shows that I with the
medium score could provide an equal balance in different companies among the autonomous,
distinctive and team-based employees. This could be a benefit for the old company or the brand

new company. If I select to begin my own business, it will be helpful for me to develop the
strong and independent leadership features in the business world.
Creative Tendency
My test score of creative tendency is also medium which means that I could maintain a stability
between the need of creating innovative concepts and the need to take these up to the end to
make it successful. It also shows I could show a steadiness to find new resources and equipment
and implement them in a creative method. These concepts are beneficial for old firms or brand
new firms. The best circumstances for creative ideas are in a comfortable place when one could
ignore the other issues and then utilize the methods like the mind mapping or brainstorming to
produce new concepts.
Calculated Risk Taking
I have a medium calculated risk-taking tendency revealed by the Get2 test. This reflects that I am
more relaxed with the experimental business concepts and strategies. In a business, those who
are encountered with risks are less relaxed in management. They seek to partner with others who
would control the risk factors of the business. But, one benefit of risk is that they are connected
with rewards, which means that I might get an advantage of the problems of the risks that are
related to the rewards. These rewards are implemented to my targets and from the methods to
improve my knowledge management and risk solving talents.
Locus of Control
As per the Get2 test, my locus of control score is medium. This score means that I am more
confident about my capability to manage and achieve my targets in life successfully. It also
explains that I have an advantage of increasing my inner confidence in order to manage and
improve the concepts and to decrease the dependence on others, specifically in situations where
the employees or the associates are imposing more risks or not providing adequate support. All
these can be achieved by improving my particular business capabilities or project skills,
concentrating on the main fields needed to improve to make a successful project or business.

Antecedent Influences on Character Traits
The entrepreneurs are those persons those who introduce new and innovative business. The
entrepreneurship is the procedure to create, introduce and run a new company, mostly a small
firm. The antecedent factors are those aspects that come from before other aspects which might
impact or become the cause of that impact (Ling and Venesaar, 2015). Several antecedent factors
positively affect the characters of the persons those who want to become a businessman. There
are three factors that have influenced my character traits; family background, work experience,
and education.

Family Background
The family background for the successfully running a company is very important for the
entrepreneurs. The perception of family shows that the person is a part of which society and this
is vital for businessmen. These social and family status makes the businessmen to attract the
cultural assets or social capital usually not available to the conventional categories (Liu, 2018).
The family labor and the loyal connections give access to the business and data related to the
business, which are taken as competitive benefits. A family supplies an exceptional social capital
which is essential for setting, improving and successfully achieving the business. Thus, the effect
of the family is evident as the family status has a vital role to play in setting up and running a
business.
Work Experience
The work environment states to that aspect of the business which effects its workings and
decides its efficiency. The work environment might be fit or unfit for the entrepreneurs. Fit
environment means the situation is in favor of the development of the company and unfit
environment means that situation s are not in favor for the company (RezaeiZadeh et al., 2017).
The work environment and the business are connected with each other. The financial situations
and other circumstances in the work environment decide the achievement of the company. The
company and their administration have to adjust with the present situations of the company. But
the entrepreneurs try to shape and impact the work environment. A successful company and its
business operations develop the social and financial situations of the nation.
Education
Education gives positive benefits to the entrepreneurs, especially the entrepreneur connected
with the technical education. The maximum number of founders of technology and engineering
firms are middle-aged persons with almost fifteen years of work experience long before they had
introduced their startups (Ziyae and Heydari, 2016). The difference in business achievements is
among the founders of technology with bachelor degrees and those with high school degrees.
However, it is not necessary that only technical entrepreneurs would be successful. The
development of the business had taken place by their owners with all kinds of educational
qualifications. Except for the high school education or less, the remaining degrees are the same
in the level of educational achievement, with more changes observed in the creativity of the

works. 50% of the job makers have diploma degrees and 40% have some college or no degree
(Villasana, Alcaraz-Rodriguez and Alvarez, 2016).

Reflection and Conclusion
The Enterprising Tendency Test had revealed the innovative qualities and features of
entrepreneurship inside me. The article had concluded that entrepreneurs are real resources of the
nation which needs to be nurtured and inspired as much as possible. They could change the
living and work styles of the peoples. Their innovative concepts could develop the lifestyles and
help to create more wealth through their projects. They would also be helpful for creating more
jobs and a flourishing community for the peoples. It had also explained that how work
experience, education, and family status are essential for becoming an entrepreneur.
