 GET2 Test Enterprise Rating

The GET2 test defines an enterprising tendency as the tendency to start up and
manage projects - highly enterprising people do this more often and are more
innovative in their approach. This self-assessment test aims to give you an idea of
your own enterprising potential, although it is important to note that there is much
academic debate about the most important characteristics of enterprising people,
and there is a role for education and training in helping people develop their potential.
Your responses to the test suggest the following results:

Occasionally enterprising

The overall GET2 test score of 65% suggests that you are likely to have strengths
in some of the enterprising characteristics and may be enterprising in some
contexts. At this time in your life you may find that you are content to work on a
 limited number of projects and may be happy to be enterprising either within
employment as an intrapreneur, or in your leisure time through voluntary
community projects. However, if you have ambitions to have an innovative growth
business, there is much you can learn and do. Several universities, such as the
Open University offer free courses online which may help you to build up your
business knowledge and skills (see http://openlearn.open.ac.uk
(http://openlearn.open.ac.uk)). There are also many MOOCs (Massive Online Open
Courses) freely available on the FutureLearn platform
(https://www.futurelearn.com (https://www.futurelearn.com)) to help you to learn
about technology, business and the economy, learn languages and so on. If you
have never set up an enterprise before you might consider starting a small project
in your community that represents a minimal risk to your time and money, to build
up your experience and expertise.

 General Enterprising Tendancy (GET2) Test Result Summary

The radar plot shows a summation of the characteristics of your GET2 test scores
graphically.
Ach = Need for Achievement | Aut = Need for Autonomy | Cre = Creative Tendency
Ris = Calculated Risk-taking | LoC = Locus of control

The radar plot can provide a useful single figure that shows the ‘shape’ of your
characteristics at one glance. It is interesting to compare this shape with that of
others who have taken the test, or of yourself if you take the test at later stages of
your life. Each axis of the plot shows the value for one of the characteristics.

 Need for Achievement

Having a medium score of 67%, you may recognise some of the following
characteristics of a high need for achievement in yourself:
An orientation towards the future
Reliance on your own ability
An optimistic rather than a pessimistic outlook
A strong task orientation
Effective time management
An orientation towards achieving results, which applies to managing yourself
and others
A restlessness, a strong drive and high energy levels
Opinionated with strong opinions and ready to defend your ideas and views
A determination to ensure your objectives are met even when difficulties arise
Responsibility and persistence in pursuit of your aims
Goal–orientated, setting challenging but realistic goals
A willingness to work long and hard when necessary to complete tasks.
A medium score probably means you are good at achieving work and life balance.

 Need for Autonomy

Having a low need for autonomy score of 17%, you probably are content to work as
a supportive member of an organisational team, which can be highly valued by
employers. You may prefer to be advised about managing your work and would
not enjoy the responsibility of taking charge of an enterprise. However, working
more autonomously may become more important to you at later times in your life.

 Creative Tendency

Having a medium score of 67%, you may recognise yourself as being somewhat
creative, although you may not be likely to have radical, disruptive innovative ideas
with game-changing impacts. However, you may be very good at finding and
applying new technologies in a skilful way to your work, making useful
improvements and you may be practically productive in the way you develop and
apply your competencies to achieve economies, efficiencies or greater
effectiveness your work. If you wished to develop a more innovative approach then
you might like to consider developing your own latent creative skills. This usually
requires some time for relaxation, which can be difficult when you are busy with
work or education.
The best conditions for creativity are in a relaxed space where you avoid critical
thinking or thinking too fixedly on a problem, and then you can use techniques,
such as brainstorming or mind-mapping to generate lots of ideas. Part of the
creativity process involves some idleness to allow the subconscious to work on
ideas during an incubation phase. This may lead to sudden insights or Eureka
moments, although creative ideas may typically be the result of an iterative
process of thinking, using creative techniques, and relaxation to come up with
good ideas.

 Calculated Risk-Taking

You scored 83% for calculated risk-taking, which is High. This means that you may
have the following qualities:
Decisiveness, being able to act on incomplete information and good at
judging when incomplete information is sufficient for taking action
Self-awareness with the ability to accurately assess your capabilities
Analytical, being good at evaluating the likely benefits against the likely costs
of actions
Goal-oriented, setting yourself challenging but attainable goals
Effective information management, using information to calculate the
probability that your actions will be successful.
With a high score on calculated risk-taking you are likely to be very good at sizing
up opportunities and filtering information to help you take calculated risks.

 Locus of Control
 Having a medium score of 67%, you may recognise yourself as being somewhat
opportunistic, self-confident, proactive and determined, although if you wish to
start a business or enterprise you may need to develop your self-confidence and
competencies to make a success of the venture. In particular, you may need to
learn to exert greater control over the development of your ideas. A risk may be
that others might take control and develop your ideas in ways you are not happy
with. Your self-confidence could be strengthened by developing specific business
or project management skills in areas that you feel need to be improved. Without
greater self-confidence you may over-rely on others, such as partners or clients,
and this could create risks for an enterprise.
