Entrepreneur Assessment Profile


A Trump U Course

This Entrepreneur Assessment Profile from Trump University Personal Assessments enables you to review your unique balance of strengths and weaknesses in the field of entrepreneurship. This can help you make decisions such as:
  • Which area of personal development needs most attention?
  • What should I look for in partners or employees to complement my strengths and weaknesses?
  • Am I really suited to being an entrepreneur?
The information contained in your profile may clarify how you think about yourself as an entrepreneur, which, in turn, may be useful to you as you consider such key questions as:
  • Which aspect of business should I study next?
  • How can I leverage my strengths and compensate for my weaknesses?
  • Should I run a company or work alone as a self-employed freelancer?
  • What kind of business should I own?
The dimensions measured by the Profile were developed and refined by Dr. John Lounsbury, a recognized expert in psychometrics and personality assessment. Dr. Lounsbury is the president of Resource Associates, Inc., a full professor in the department of psychology at the University of Tennessee, a fellow of the American Psychological Association, and a licensed industrial/organizational psychologist.

How To Best Use Your Profile

When reviewing your Profile, focus on your strengths. But remember that even the world’s most successful people have areas of weakness. They succeed because they understand their strengths and weaknesses, maximize their abilities and build skills in critical areas.

Your Profile shows general tendencies and cannot identify highly specific skills or personality traits. For this, more in-depth testing is possible. Your exact scores might vary according to your mood or energy level when taking the test, but our research shows the profiles are reliable over the long-term.

If there is any aspect of yourself you would like to change or develop, expect the changes to be gradual and to require persistent effort and learning. Use good educational resources, get help from mentors and above all be patient with yourself.

How the Profile Works

The Entrepreneur Assessment Profile shows the 12 personal traits that are most relevant to the entrepreneurial life, whether as a business owner or self-employed professional.

The 12 traits are rated in order of importance, starting with those most strongly associated with both success and satisfaction. The higher your scores on these 12 traits, the more your personality matches those of successful and satisfied entrepreneurs, business owners and self-employed professionals.
