As part of the Strategic Initiative "Entrepreneurship" of the University of Applied Sciences and Arts Northwestern Switzerland (FHNW), the Entrepreneur Check (EC) was developed to provide entrepreneurs with a scientifically sound and practical tool and to support them in their start-up activities.

The online tool offers entrepreneurs feedback from two perspectives: the first module includes a personality test, the second module focuses on health-related behaviour.

The "Personality" module

This module provides feedback on characteristics such as persistence, self-control, resilience, innovativeness and willingness to take risks.

The "Health" module

It deals with topics such as nutrition and stress as well as sports activities and recreation.
