GET Enterprise test

Result of the test was 63% for the whole test; the results refer to many important points relating to the enterprising characteristics that I currently have and what needed for me in the future. The score tells that I need to develop my own enterprising features in order to have more strengths if I want to start a special business and succeed in it. The results make me think that I should develop my enterprising abilities in order to reach better levels of professionalism. I should train myself more and practice more work in order to maintain stronger enterprising abilities and skills. Regarding my achievement; I think I need to be more independent and work in projects that can represent me rather than others. I think I am imaginative and I have a creative tendency. I need to be able to take more risks when needed and don't depend on luck in finding good opportunities. My autonomy seems to be low which tells that I should engage in team works more than currently because team work can improve my ability to work in teams; the fact is that I prefer working within teams than being alone but I still don't have a specific role within the team. I am a person who can accept managers' orders and instructions but I need to be more adequate. The score tells that I prefer the entrepreneur ideas that are ready and I need to be more risky; this is to some extent true as although I can take risks; I prefer well studied ideas and perhaps this reduces the opportunities I can meet if I tried new ideas. The test tells that I have a quite good level of creativity but I need to develop it and try more entrepreneurship experiences. Generally I have creative and innovative lifestyle as I prefer trying new travelling experiences, camping trips and I like to try new games and new adventure but perhaps at work, I am a bit that creative person because sometimes I prefer the well thought ideas than new ones as I fear of failures and try to be secured a bit. The test results explain that I really own some different entrepreneurial advantages but they are not enough for me to lead a successful and great business as results show that need to take more risks, be more creative, have more self confidence and be more independent, results also tell that I should take more roles working within teams as this can improve my self confidence and can also add many experiences to me. My ideas development needs to be strengthened as ideas have to be supported by researches and analysis as well as experiences in different project management areas. Results give some opinion about me that are really identical and make me rethink in the way I mean to follow when running my own business but they are not very exact or accurate in some specific areas such as working with teams as I like team work greatly and regarding creativity as I prefer to be creative but perhaps I can't find the opportunity at work or the encouragement from my leaders to be creative as failure there means severe punishment. The test was a good experience that can help me develop my own skills and abilities in order to get better career 
opportunities.   

This test gave me a score of 59.19 % and its typical score is 63.48%. The score I got explains that the score got on the GET test was right to a great extent. The Aluive test explains that I possess a medium abstraction level which refers to the abstraction of concepts gained from ideas added to a good level of making connections for things connected naturally; this part tells that I am in a strong need for being engaged within teams and team work tasks in order to be able to make better connection relationships and to be able to have better communication skills and abilities and this can be done via training and real team work experiences. The test represents me as having 50% ability for changing my own perspectives in different situations which differ depending on some certain circumstances such as time, space and others and this gives an idea about me that I am not flexible enough when it is related to change my own opinion or view which is related to the results of the GET test that confirms that I have to work more with people and accept their ideas in some times. Concerning curiosity; the test explains that I need to be more curious in order to reach higher levels of creativity and innovation; this result differs to some extent of the results of the GTE result that showed low levels of creativity and these results explain that I need to apply my own creativity that I really have at real work experience and to have the courage that enables me to present the creative ideas I have and let them be applied. Regarding boldness; the test tells I have some boldness but not to the extent that gives me the opportunities of making successful business myself and this tells that the GET test results were right and makes me eager to develop my abilities in expressing myself, my ideas and having more self confidence that can enable me to be more successful in enterprising business. The paradox ability represents my skills in doing coordinated business and contradicted jobs and this was also mentioned in the GET test made before so the opinion is true and this makes me very interested in developing my team work abilities and reevaluate them in order to work better with others, discuss their ideas and accept them in team works. Complexity level I have based on this test tells that I am good enough in managing data and dealing with information that is very large and this is identical with what was suggested about me in the GET test yet I also need to train myself on working with very advanced information systems. The test also explains that I possess persistency skills which explain what was not mentioned in the GET test that said I lack enough presentation for innovative solutions.

My life actions, my career and my business world have affected my skills, experiences and abilities a lot as I have faced different situations that made me identify a defect in my character and in the way I follow to deal with business matters, for example, I am very creative when I am with family and friends; I always suggest crazy ideas and new suggestions that everyone appreciate and prefer as they can save time and effort and provide pleasure to others in addition of being practical, useful and successful. This is different from the way I do at work as when I have some new innovative ideas, I don't have the full courage to present them to my boss or my team work and I think this is due to my shyness as I was brought up in a social way that gives much interest to family life rather than social life with strangers; I think I have to train myself to be more dare at work and be able to accept criticism better in order to make use of the creative ideas I really have at work and the innovations that I think sometimes they are silly but others present them and succeed. According to Treffinger et al, (2002) creative thinking should be aligned with courage to apply creative ideas and make them successful, openness is also needed because it enables the individual to discuss different ideas bravely and accept different opinions and make decisions easily.

Regarding my leadership abilities, I am good at leading teams as I listen to the team members, motivate them to work and encourage their ideas but I need to make more research about different entrepreneurship skills that can enhance my own independence as those discussed by Rudmann, (2008) as he affirmed that the entrepreneurship skills can help the employee face the changing environment and maintain better leadership opportunities and cope with the increasing complexity related to work environment. The influences that affected my character throughout my life are many such as my education as I used to follow orders and instructions without discussing my bosses or presenting any new ideas as I was educated in Arabic Omani schools that didn't focus too much on creativity, discussions and innovations. This affected my own abilities to be courageous at work and discuss my innovations and creative ideas to my bosses and also reduced my ability to work within teams as team work wasn't found in my education. Another factor is the experience I had during work as it changed my shyness to some extent and enabled me to take leadership positions and engage with team work, I received different training programs in leadership, leading teams and present unique ideas that are practical and useful. I also took roles within group work projects that enabled me to accept criticism to some extent and be a good listener but I need to have more experience in this regard. 

Within the family, I was encouraged and loved and many members of the family encouraged me especially my uncle who is a successful business man as he gave me much advice about business and was always telling me that I need to be more dare and creative at work but I usually took his advice for fun; now I think I have to take his advice more seriously and begin to build up my entrepreneurship skills. My father also encouraged me to begin my own business and gave me lot of motivation and advice about the importance of communication with work mates.   

Improving my character traits are very important to establish a new own business as I should give much more importance to projects' deadline, working with teams and leading teams. I really have good and strong leadership skills but I need to do more research to add to my skills and develop them as well as being trained on working more with teams and groups. Shared leadership is according to Mielonen, (2011) is important for enhancing team work and cooperative business in addition to its role in enhancing communication and problem solving. I have to make evaluation for my own traits in order to find out what I really need and how to develop my own abilities, skills and experiences. I need also to join training courses in different areas of business in order to develop my experience and enterprising skills. I have to work hard in order to train myself be better regarding the shortage in dealing with mates, discussing opinions and suggestions and working within teams in a cooperative work environment; I have also to be a listener for the advice told to me by others such as my boss, my family members and this shouldn't make me lose my self confidence because I know that I really master good leadership skills with a reasonable level of entrepreneurship that needs to be developed. 

Conclusion

In conclusion, the tests I made and the evaluation process I applied on my own business and entrepreneurship abilities were very useful to me and made me discover many things about my character and business traits; I realized some strengths that I really have such as my leadership abilities and also discovered some weaknesses I have such as my ability to work within teams and the initiation of being creative and innovative as I usually felt that my boss should encourage me more although he always does but my shyness has lead me to lose many good work opportunities and many benefits from the teams I joined and worked for. I have to make good use of such experience by adding experiences and developments to my business traits and to face the challenges I face at work bravely.
