About This Assessment

This Entrepreneurship Theories Quiz is designed for students, researchers, and founders who want to move beyond basic business advice and test their understanding of rigorous academic research. Unlike standard personality tests, this assessment evaluates your knowledge of the mechanical and psychological drivers of venture creation.

What Theories Are Covered?

The question bank is derived from the "Periodic Table of Entrepreneurship," covering over 100 years of economic and sociological research. By taking this quiz, you will encounter concepts including:

  • Simulated Empathy: Understanding how founders cognitively model customer needs.
  • Effectuation vs. Causation: The difference between predicting the future and creating it.
  • Weak Ties Theory: Why distant acquaintances provide better startup opportunities than close friends.
  • External Enablers: How regulatory and technological shifts trigger new ventures.

Why Master Theory?

Founders who understand the "physics" of business—concepts like Information Asymmetry and Dynamic Capabilities—can make more strategic decisions under uncertainty. This tool bridges the gap between the Ivory Tower and the Street, translating complex phenomena like Hubris, Passion, and Misfit Theory into actionable knowledge.
