“You naturally want to lead. You like to be able to organize the work well of yourself and of others. Often you do this to pursue a particular purpose. It’s important for you to communicate your vision to others and have them follow your lead. You can be rather persuasive. You are able to handle many things at the same time. You’re someone who prefers to take the initiative. You quickly know what you want, and you can easily mobilize others. But you like to take the important decisions. Running your own business is perhaps one of your dreams, probably to realize an idea or just to make money, or a combination of both.”
