During 2019, the HoneyBook team has been talking to creative entrepreneurs and small business owners, listening to their varied pain points and fielding the big questions: How do I find my ideal client? What can I do to grow my business, when I feel like I’m already doing everything? The instagram algorithm did what? How do I get my clients to pay on time without having to badger them? At HoneyBook, we’re not psychologists, but we do talk to thousands of small business owners every month — face to face, in our office, at monthly meetups, via email, over video chat. This business personality test was created to learn about each small business’ unique style and growth hurdles, and then provide the resources, technology, and conversation that will help you catapult over them in 2020.

The Creatives are likely to be a Myers Briggs: ESFP, ISFP, ESTP, ISTP. The Connectors in the group are likely to be a Myers Briggs: ESFJ, ISFJ, ESTJ, ISTJ. And the Visionary folks are likely to be a Myers Briggs: ENFP, INFP, ENFJ, INFJ. All these letters seem like gibberish? Let Elon Musk and Oprah clear it up for you.

The four main business personality types are our interpretation of the four quadrants within Myers Briggs types, while the four stages of business are based on HoneyBook’s member base and knowledge of solopreneurs and small business owners. All in all these four personalities and four business different small business stages give us 16 possible results. The Actualizer business personality can be described as a ‘doer’ and executer, the Visionary business personality type is someone who has great perspective and big-picture thinking, the Connector business personality type is someone who is strong at building relationships between people and between people and resources, and the Creative business personality type indicates someone with truly unique and non-routine ways of seeing and interpreting the world around them. Wondering what type you are? Don’t wait to find out — take the test.
