what is unimportant.

People Skills: This is a skill which is very important in order to be successful in any kind of
business. People skills refer to an effective and efficient communication in relation to people
working in and out of a business. In day-to-day business transactions, you need to deal with
people. Well- developed people skills can spell out the difference between success and failure of
the business.

Decision - Making Skills: Successful entrepreneurs have the ability to think quickly and make
a wise decision towards the pre-determined set objectives. No one can deny that the ability to
make decisions is an important skill that an entrepreneur should possess. Sound decisions
should spring out from given facts and should be towards the attainment of pre-determined
objectives.

In order to firm up what you have learned, and to have a better appreciation of the different
entrepreneurial competencies, try to read the PECs checklist presented below, then assess
yourself.

your strong and weak points. Thus, these behavioral indicators are said to be useful in
strengthening the entrepreneurial potential. Answer the questionnaire based on your
personal and honest views as there are no wrong answers. Remember that no one is
good at everything.

in parentheses. Notice that the item numbers in each column are consecutive. Item No.
2 is below item No. 1 and so forth.

2. Do the addition and subtraction in each row to compute each PEC score. Watch carefully
the plusses (+) and minuses (-) to come up with the correct computation.
Check twice or thrice if you have obeyed this rule!

3. Add all the PEC scores to compute the total score.

Note that the correction factor is very important for the calculation of the final
score.

The correction factor (the total of items 11, 22, 33, 44, and 55) is computed to determine
whether or not a person tries to filter his image of himself. If the total score on this factor is
20 or greater, then the total score on the ten PECs must be corrected to provide a more
accurate assessment of the strengths of the PEC score for that individual .

PECs SELF-RATING QUESTIONNAIRE

Corrected Score Sheet

Instructions

1. The correction factor (the total of items 11, 22, 33, 44, and 55) is used to determine
whether or not a person tries a very favourable image of himself. If the total score on this
factor is 20 or greater, then the total score on the ten PECs must be corrected to provide a
more accurate assessment of the strengths of the PEC score for that individual.
2. Use these following numbers when figuring the corrected score:

Interpreting Scores*
The highest corrected score is 25 per PECs item. The closer you are to 25 means you are
strong in that particular PECs item. The average and median score is 12.5. A score below
12.5 means a challenge or opportunity for improvement in that particular PECs item. A
below the average score calls for change of behavioral pattern. Marking on the extreme left
side (below 12) requires self-reflection and figuring out changes needed to improve one’s
personality. The PECs profile is dynamic, meaning it is not set in stone and whatever
challenges you may have could still be improved on. Your PECs profile will be technically
progressive once these challenges are faced with self-confidence and are aligned to your
business plan. In a larger sense, a winning personality is considered a key factor whether
you are fit to start or maintain a business.
