Personality Tests

Lately, I have been working on some research for a webinar I am set to present on Thursday; topic of choice is Personality Types and Entrepreneurship. I was able to find some very interesting information which I am still sorting through, but now I firmly believe the importance of these tests. Understanding how these largely unchanged traits which are specific to our characters, can gauge our success rate when launching a new venture.

Studies confirm the importance of these tests, and state that individuals whose traits match those required by their position are five times more successful than those who don't.

Test results stand to give us a big head start and minimize risk in entering foreign territory. However, individuals should not be discouraged if there traits do not match identically those of their desired position/lifestyle. It is not only important to test into a position but ultimately have a firm believe understanding of what the position requires and ultimately adapting to be successful in your field.

Granted this does make the process a bit more difficult... But, if launching a successful business was easy, than everyone would do it. To really be able to appreciate the success you will achieve, to be able to establish metrics of change and actually witness attainment. Well in my opinion, there is no bigger high or satisfaction that one could get, well perhaps there are but for the time being, just go with it...

It is a very inexpensive and quick process to gain a basic understanding of our personality type. You can easily access free tests online, just by punching in "Personality Tests" into Google. The only reason I will not recommend a specific test is because I have not fully tested the waters.

So until I do, seek out, find what you love to do. Take time to understand the specific character traits which will give you a better chance at success. Spending time to do this in the beginning will really save time and money in the long run.

Focker out...
