By Carlene May 17, 2010
Alan Sugar returned to our screens in the Junior Apprentice last week, Below is the Alan Sugar test, devised by Kingston University in South West London - have you got what it takes to lead in your organisation?
Please choose a number between one and seven for how much you agree or disagree with the following statements. One is strongly disagree and seven is strongly agree.
- I think I am a very imaginative person.
- I am good at getting people to work well together.
- Making mistakes is a good way of finding out how to solve a problem.
- I work hard to make my projects successful.
- I think my future career is largely up to me.
- To achieve something worthwhile it is necessary to take risks.
- I enjoy lecturers who try out different ways of teaching.
- I’m good at motivating my colleagues.
- I trust my own instinct when solving problems.
- I would be prepared to invest my own money in a venture I believed in.
- It is important to plan my future career.
- It feels really good when a project works out well.
Calculation of results
To obtain an overall test score add the scores for all 12 statements. Maximum score is 84 and the minimum score is 12.
If you scored 70 or more you are a highly enterprising person. You like thinking up original ideas and you have the motivation and persuasive powers needed to get others involved. You trust your own judgement and are prepared to stand by your beliefs.
If you scored between 55 and 69 you can sometimes be enterprising and you have some of the qualities needed to be a successful leader or entrepreneur. However, you don’t yet have the self belief and drive to go all the way.
If you scored 54 or less you probably have all sorts of other qualities, but being enterprising isn’t one of them. Not everyone wants to be or can be an entrepreneur, and let’s face it there is probably only room for one Simon Cowell on the planet.
