Default Franchise Self Test - Take it NOW!

Can you do business? Can you do franchising? Not everyone can. Starting a business can be risky, so there is definitely a need to understand whether you are for franchising or not before deciding to take the challenge. I found a test that could help you assess yourself whether you can do franchising. And if the answer is yes, which type of franchise should you consider? Click here to take the test.

Thanks for the link. I've tried and failed several times. I'm thinking about franchising. Maybe it's time for me to take the test. But what if I fail, does it mean I can stop dreaming of setting up a succesful business someday?

BTW, I failed.

Results

Based on the questions you answered the franchise type most suited to you is Single operator manual

Your responses to questions 1 through 17 suggest that you should perhaps think again before moving into a franchise. You do not appear to be a strong candidate as your overall qualities and attitudes do not closely match those of successful franchisees. Running a franchise might be an uphill struggle for you click here to see your answers to 1 to 17

Items 1, 4, 8, 11 and 14 of the questionnaire gauged your assertiveness and energy, and how enterprising and positive you are in life as one facet of your character. You'll be pleased to know that your score on this facet was high. The way you have answered the questions indicate that, overall, you are not lacking in this important area. click here to see your answers to 1,4,8,11 and 14

Conforming to the business style and rules of the franchisor is important. Your responses to the items 2 and 9 in the questionnaire relating to this issue indicated that you would be tempted at times not to run the franchise along the prescribed lines. To maintain good relations with the franchisor you might have to suppress you views a lot. Over a period of years that could become very stressful. click here to see your answers to 2 and 9

Conscientiousness scores are prime indicators of success in business and many other areas of endeavour. The answers you gave to items 3, 5 and 12 in the questionnaire indicate that you may be rather low in your levels of conscientiousness. Running a franchise could well make unacceptable demands on you.click here to see your answers to 3, 5 and 12

Operating a franchise produces more that its fair share of crises, fears, frustrations and worries. Your responses to items 7 and 17 scores appear to signal that you probably cope fairly well in these situations. Your calmness and stability could be helpful in achieving success as a franchisee. click here to see your answers to 7 and 17

I took the test. The result says that the franchise type most suited to me is Single operator executive. Thanks for providing this test.

I have had a franchise before but it was a failure. I have learned lessons from it. I am not afraid to try franchising again and I am positive that I'll succeed this time.

Single Operator Executive here also. I didn't really consider a franchise seriously, but I thought it might be fun to see where my options are.
