Assessment
Almost done, Patty!
Finally, Take the Entrepreneur DNA Assessment
The Founder Institute's assessment only takes about 30 minutes, is our main criteria for admissions.
Why do we ask you to take it? Because our programs are designed to unlock entrepreneurial potential, and this assessment reflects 17+ years of social science research to identify the personality traits that correlate with entrepreneurial success.
Upon completing it you will instantly receive a preview Entrepreneur DNA Report that tells you:
- How you scored on several dimensions of entrepreneurship
- Personality traits you possess that will help you be a strong entrepreneur
- Personality traits you possess that may hinder you from being a strong entrepreneur
- How you compare to the average scores of [total_applicants]+ applicants worldwide
After you complete the assessment it may take up to 72 hours to receive your initial admissions decision, and for this page to update.
Since we process applications on a rolling basis, the sooner you complete the Assessment, the better your chances are of being accepted. We recommend you set aside time to complete it as soon as possible
