I scored as low as it could possibly get*…which set me thinking – is this the right test for becoming a VC? (I can hear Tut tuts!)
Actually, Is there any right “test” for determining whether a person is well-suited for a career in VC – or more importantly, will he/she succeed?
The test misses one important thing; unfortunately it cannot be measured…and unlike the experiences and skills one has, it is entirely unpredictable and may desert you when you need it most – I am thinking *LUCK*
.
* Yes, I know this is post-facto rationalisation, but…
I think I screwed up “Background” in a major way…missing on all the +5s and being saddled with two -5s (for my sins at LBS and Monitor)
Note to Guy: Can I get a bonus +5 for “unusual” background? Radio DJ, Comp Engg, Mushroom farmer, Diplomat etc?
