HR Avatar Launches New Entrepreneurial Strengths Assessment

HR Avatar is proud to announce the launch of Entrepreneurial Strengths, our newest assessment designed to evaluate an individual’s potential for success in entrepreneurship. What sets this assessment apart is its AI-powered behavioral insights. In addition to answering direct questions about various entrepreneur-related competencies, candidates share real-life examples of entrepreneurial behavior, which are then scored by AI to reveal how closely their actions align with authentic entrepreneurial traits.

Entrepreneurial ability isn’t just for business founders. It is a valuable asset across roles and industries. Employees with entrepreneurial tendencies often bring innovation, initiative, and problem-solving skills that fuel growth and efficiency in any organization. With the Entrepreneurial Strengths Assessment, employers can now measure these qualities with confidence and clarity.

What It Is

The Entrepreneurial Strengths Assessment is designed to identify the core traits and abilities linked to entrepreneurial success. By incorporating this tool into your hiring process, you gain deeper insight into whether a candidate has the mindset and behaviors that reflect entrepreneurial thinking.

What It Measures

The assessment provides a detailed look at competencies that research shows are critical to entrepreneurial success:

• Adaptability: Measures how well someone responds to frequent or substantial changes in their work environment. High scorers thrive in evolving, fast-paced settings, while lower scorers may prefer stability and structure.
• Creativity: Assesses the ability to generate original ideas, solve problems from unique angles, and think outside of the box. High scorers imagine new possibilities, while lower scorers may favor traditional, rule-bound approaches.
• Dealing with Uncertainty: Evaluates how comfortable an individual is with ambiguity. High scorers stay confident and focused in the face of the unknown, while lower scorers may worry excessively and struggle when conditions are unpredictable.
• Entrepreneurial Drive: Reflects motivation, confidence, and initiative. High scorers are self-starting, persistent, and willing to take risks to pursue opportunities, while low scorers may wait for direction or avoid stepping outside their comfort zone.
• Examples of Entrepreneurial Behavior: Evaluates elements of the candidate's past work and education history to identify indications of high or low entrepreneurial potential.
• Leadership Mindset: Identifies candidates who naturally take charge, inspire trust, delegate appropriately, and motivate others to achieve group goals.
• Preference for Multi-Tasking: Measures comfort with juggling multiple responsibilities. High scorers thrive on switching between priorities in dynamic environments, while low scorers prefer to focus deeply on one task at a time.
• Resilience: Assesses the ability to bounce back from adversity, persist through challenges, and maintain effectiveness under stress.
• Strategic Entrepreneurial Thinking: Evaluates the ability to recognize opportunities, envision long-term possibilities, and set clear, actionable goals. High scorers are forward-looking and market-aware, while lower scorers may focus narrowly on short-term tasks.

AI-Powered Behavioral Insights

To strengthen accuracy and add behavioral depth, the assessment includes a unique AI-powered scoring process. At the conclusion, candidates are asked to describe specific times when they demonstrated entrepreneurial behavior. Their responses are then evaluated by AI, which measures how closely these examples align with authentic entrepreneurial traits. This feature ensures organizations gain insights not only into what candidates say about themselves, but also into how they’ve applied entrepreneurial thinking in real-world situations.
