AM I A TYPE-A?
Your score is:
This instrument measures the degree to which you’re competitive and rushed for time. The Type A personality describes someone who is aggressively involved in a chronic, incessant struggle to achieve more and more in less and less time. More specifically, Type As are always moving, walking, and eating rapidly; feel impatient with the pace of most events; strive to do two or more things at once; do not cope well with leisure time; and are obsessed with numbers, measuring their success in terms of how many or how much of everything they acquire. Type Bs are the exact opposites.
A total of 120 or more indicates that you are a hard-core Type A. Scores below 90 indicate that you are a hard-core Type B. The following gives you more specifics:
120 or more points = A+ personality type
106-119 = A
100-105 = A
90-99 = B+
Less than 90 = B
If you score in the “A” categories, you need to be aware of your tendency to focus on quantity over quality. You may do better in jobs that are routine and rely on speed rather than creativity for success. In addition, Type As often experience moderate to high levels of stress.

WHAT’S MY JUNGIAN 16 TYPE PERSONALITY?
Your score is:
The Jungian 16 Type Personality is a very popular personality framework. It classifies people as extroverted or introverted (E or I), sensing or intuitive (S or N), thinking or feeling (T or F), and perceiving or judging (P or J). These classifications can then be combined into sixteen personality types (for example, INTJ, ENTP).
This questionnaire classifies people as extroverted or introverted. Some examples and interpretations:
INTJ. You have an original mind and great drive for your own ideas and purposes. You’re skeptical, critical, independent, determined, and often stubborn.
ESTJ. You’re realistic, logical, analytical, decisive, and have a natural head for business or mechanics. You like to organize and run things.
ENTP. You’re a conceptualizer. You’re innovative, individualistic, versatile, and entrepreneurial. You tend to be resourceful in solving challenging problems but you may neglect routine assignments.
What value can this personality classification have for you? It can help you understand your personality – your strengths and your weaknesses. It can help you in making successful career decisions when you try to find jobs that align well with your strengths and avoid those jobs that are a poor fit.

SELF ASSESSMENT LIBRARYAnalysisWHAT’S MY EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE SCORE?
Your score is:
Emotional intelligence (EI) is an assortment of skills and competencies that have shown to influence a person’s ability to succeed in coping with environmental demands and pressures. People with high EI have the ability to accurately perceive, evaluate, express, and regulate emotions and feelings.
This questionnaire taps the five basic dimensions in EI: self-awareness (items 1 and 9), self-management (2, 4), self-motivation (3,7), empathy (5,8), and social skills (6,10).
Your score will fall between 10 and 50. While no definite cutoff scores are available, scores of 40 or higher indicate a high EI. Scores of 20 or less suggest a relatively low EI.
EI may be most predictive of performance in jobs such as sales or management where success is as dependent on interpersonal skills as technical ability. EI should also be relevant in selecting members to teams. People with low EI are likely to have difficulty managing others, making effective sales presentations, and working on teams.
Can EI be learned? A large part of an individual’s EI is genetically based. However, you can improve on your EI. See, for instance, J. Segal, Raising Your Emotional Intelligence (Holt, 1997) and A. Simmons and J.C. Simmons, Measuring Emotional Intelligence: The Groundbreaking Guide to Applying the Principles of Emotional Intelligence (Summit, 1998).

AM I LIKELY TO BECOME AN ENTREPRENEUR?
Your score is:
This instrument assesses proactive personality. That is, it identifies differences among people in the extent to which they take action to influence their environment. Proactive personalities identify opportunities and act on them; they show initiative, take action, and persevere until they bring about change. Research finds that the proactive personality is positively associated with entrepreneurial intentions.
Your proactive personality score will range between 17 and 119. The higher your score, the stronger your proactive personality.
A number of factors have been found to be associated with becoming an entrepreneur. For instance, entrepreneurship tends to flourish in communities that encourage risk taking and minimize the penalties attached to failures. Having supportive parents is additionally a plus. Entrepreneurs typically have parents who encouraged them to achieve, be independent, and take responsibility for their actions. Entrepreneurs also tend to have parents who were self-employed or entrepreneurs themselves. But high scores on this questionnaire suggest you have strong inclinations toward becoming an entrepreneur.
