Getting the ‘right’ candidates is one of the most important steps in Entrepreneur creation & development. One method of selecting these ‘right’ candidates is through the use of Entrepreneur Profiling Tools.

Unlike regular profiling tools or systems, EnSight: Entrepreneur Profiling Index is an assessment of the Entrepreneurial traits in an individual.

EnSight was developed in collaboration with a renowned academician from Malaysian National University (UKM), based on studies and surveys of local entrepreneurs and supported by published studies on entrepreneurship and profiling methodologies.

EnSight when used with supporting methodology such as face-to-face interview could prove to be a potent selection tool for entrepreneur development programs.

PSYCOMETRIC PROFILING TOOL (EnSight)

E X P E R T I S E

Tier 1: Core Trait Entrepreneurship Personality

Tier 2: Main Traits

Tier 3: Bonus Traits

EnSight uses a three-tiered assessment methodology in determining one’s Entrepreneurial Traits

Idea Development Process starts with Idea Generation stage. This is where several methodologies are applied to encourage participants to think creatively in coming up with business ideas which conform to a set of guidelines such as:-

Commercial potential
