Introduction
The assignment is on understanding the traits and characteristics that needs to be
embedded in an entrepreneur. Proper behaviors and actions required in business career have
to be analyzed along with influences of traits.
The aim and purpose is to understand influence of character traits and implications of
traits in future. The assignment is reflective in nature and emphasis is on career traits and
behavior.
The structure of assignment is on reflection on meaning of results generated from
GET and other relevant tests.
1. Meaning of the results
From GET result, I analyzed that I am occasionally enterprising in nature wherein it
means in future I would like to work for my own organization. I have medium need for
achievement, as I want to work towards gaining knowledge on domains of work as well as
working for long hours for achievement. I analyzed I am efficient in time management and
independent. I analyzed if I start my own business I can cultivate positive qualities on
leadership. Proper risk taking ability is essential to achieve desired results in business and
helps in achieving success.
From GET results, it is analyzed that I am calculative in nature while taking risks for
company but I have creative tendencies that can have huge impact on changing game for
organization. Proper analysis is required to understand my weaknesses in handling conflicts
that can affect business and try to resolve issues. It is analyzed that if I take risks for success
it will definitely be fruitful in nature. From overall GET score, I am a medium score

performer wherein I am capable of taking up challenges when there are risks involved in
reputation of organization.

a) Contradictory evidence for evaluation
There are differences in psychometric test that I have taken in TestMyCreativity site.
In GET test, I have seen I have medium score in taking up risks as well as in creative
tendency. I have scored 67% in locus of control that helps me in understanding I am self-
confident and opportunistic in nature. I have entrepreneurship skills embedded in me that
helps me in developing ideas for making business successful. Similarly, I am having medium
score in recognizing myself, as I would be happy to work as an entrepreneur rather than
working as intrapraneur. Lastly, for need of achievement for organization and for me, it can
be analyzed that I am optimistic in nature on viewing different things in a separate manner. I
am determined in achieving objectives for organization and achieve success as well.
However, in test taken on TestMyCreativity site, I have analyzed few different aspects
on my behavior regarding entrepreneurship. I have ability to solve complex problems that can
hamper success and gain competitive advantage. I have creative ability in making changes
that helps in bringing changes in growth of company. I have ability to persist with changes in

organization, as this will help in making the tasks of organization successful in nature. In this
particular test, I have observed that I have higher ability in solving issues that can have
impact on growth and goodwill of organization. Lastly, I have curiosity in gaining knowledge
regarding prospective that helps in achieving success and good entrepreneurship quality in
me.

b) Example of behavior and actions in business career and life
When I will be working as an entrepreneur for my own organization or working with
a particular corporate company, my main motive is to follow ethics in the workplace, as this
will help in developing new skills that can bring about changes in the workplace (Bae et al.
2014). For instance- If I start developing a habit of running enjoyment and it does well
then, I will fuel my happiness by climbing rock and it will help in generating success as
well.
Another example of proper behavior and actions in business career and life is that
if I start my entrepreneurship business and within few months, I gain success as well then,
it does not mean I will take the work lightly and stop working hard. If I gain success within
few months of business, I have to work efficiently with proper usage of time and managing
the time more efficiently as this will help in achieving goals within a short span of time.

father is working with a Multinational Company and mother is homemaker. Both of them
spend quality time with me and I have no grudges against them. Both are busy with their lives
and are free on weekends, wherein we spend time and enjoy to the fullest. Tough my sister is
busy and she hardly gets time to spend with us, still all of us try to fix up a day off from our
busy schedule and enjoy with each other.
