Use your own calculator to measure your own entrepreneurship aptitude. Write a text box on the spreadsheet that shows your results and comments.

Learn how to create a lookup list and how to use a lookup function. I have posted a sample that shows only one factor for the metrics. It comes from the paper http://scholar.harvard.edu/files/glaeser/files/entrepreneurship_and_the_city.pdf?m=1360041693
Use the help function in excel to show you examples of the lookup.
