PERSONAL ENTREPRENEURIAL COMPETENCIES
(PECs) SELF-RATING QUESTIONNAIRE

Instructions:

1. This questionnaire consists of 55 statements. Read each statement and decide

how well it describes you. Be honest about yourself. Remember, no one does
anything very well, nor is it even good to do everything very well. Besides that,
your rating of the individual questions remains your secret and you may take this
questionnaire home.

2. Select one of the numbers below to indicate how well the statement describes
you:

5 - Always
4 - Usually
3 - Sometimes
2 - Rarely
1 - Never

3. Write the number you select on the line to the right of each statement.
Here is an example: I remain calm in stressful situations 2

The person who responded to the item above wrote a "2" to indicate that the
statement describes him very little (the person is rarely calm in stressful
situations).

4. Some statements may be similar but no two are exactly alike.

5. Please answer all questions without exception!

Scoring Sheet
Instructions

1. Enter the ratings from the completed questionnaire on the lines above the
item numbers in parentheses. Notice that the item numbers in each
column are consecutive. Item No. 2 is below item No. 1 and so forth.

2. Do the addition and subtraction in each row to compute each PEC score.
Watch carefully the plusses (+) and minuses (-) to come up with the
correct computation.
Check twice or thrice if you have obeyed this rule!

3. Add all the PEC scores to compute the total score.

Corrected Score Sheet

Instructions

1. The correction factor (the total of items 11, 22, 33, 44, and 55) is used
to determine whether or not a person tries a very favourable image of
himself. If the total score on this factor is 20 or greater, then the total
score on the ten PECs must be corrected to provide a more accurate
assessment of the strengths of the PEC score for that individual.

2. Use these following numbers when figuring the corrected score:

Subtract the following

If the correction factor is number from each PEC
score (correction factor)

24 or 25 7

22 or 23 5

20 or 21 3

19 or less 0

3. Use the next page (Corrected Score Sheet) to correct each PEC score
before using the Profile Sheet.
