Measure of Entrepreneurial Talents and Abilities - Disruptive Talent (META DT)

Measures entrepreneurial potential in individuals.

Entrepreneurship is the genesis of business innovation and growth. All entrepreneurial activity starts at the individual level and some individuals have much more potential for it than others. Disruptive innovation threatens every business in every sector and happens with increasing frequency and speed. The only effective response to the threat is to build the capacity to innovate yourself.
