No. Gallup created the Builder Profile 10 assessment to reveal your builder talents and to offer a common language for conversations about how to best use and develop those talents. BP10 does not determine whether you should or should not be a builder, nor does it offer suggestions on whether or not to start a business.

Knowing your unique builder talent profile gives you a clear picture of your areas of builder talent. You can use this information and the various builder resources to focus on the areas of talent that rank the highest for you. You can also begin to create relationships and seek learning opportunities to address areas of lesser talent.

Gallup studied the best entrepreneurs to understand the actions and decisions that lead to business venture creation and growth. After years of research, Gallup identified 10 builder talents, measured by the BP10, that define the best and drive business success:

• Confidence: You accurately know yourself and understand others.
• Delegator: You recognize that you cannot do everything and are willing to contemplate a shift in style and control.
• Determination: You persevere through difficult and seemingly insurmountable obstacles.
• Disruptor: You exhibit creativity in taking an existing idea or product and turning it into something better.
• Independence: You do whatever needs to be done to build a successful venture.
• Knowledge: You constantly search for information that is relevant to growing your business.
• Profitability: You make decisions based on observed or anticipated effect on profit.
• Relationship: You have high social awareness and an ability to build relationships that are beneficial to your organization’s survival and growth.
• Risk: You instinctively know how to manage high-risk situations.
• Selling: You are the best spokesperson for your business.

Your customized Builder 10 report will list the 10 builder talents in rank order based on your responses to the BP10 assessment.

Gallup has found that there are three key players in the development of any organization, whether it’s a new enterprise, a new division within a company or a nonprofit. We call them the “three alphas”: the alpha Rainmaker, the alpha Conductor and the alpha Expert. When this combination exists in an organization or on a team, the likelihood of it breaking out and booming grows exponentially.

• Rainmakers have unusual drive, persistence and determination.
• Conductors are the operations people or managers who know how to get all players on the team to work together.
• Experts provide differentiating expertise to the core product or service.

Your Builder 10 report will identify the type of alpha builder you are likely to be.
