    Real CEO material need no test... they are confindent enough they are CEO material to start with

    So... if you took this test, you can't be CEO material.

    Which is not a bad thing

    GARCIN: I "dreamt," you say. It was no dream. When I chose the hardest path, I made my choice deliberately. A man is what he wills himself to be.
    INEZ: Prove it. Prove it was no dream. It's what one does, and nothing else, that shows the stuff one's made of.
    GARCIN: I died too soon. I wasn't allowed time to - to do my deeds.
    INEZ: One always dies too soon - or too late. And yet one's whole life is complete at that moment, with a line drawn neatly under it, ready for the summing up. You are - your life, and nothing else.

    yeah this is history, not ceo material, personally i think the potential losses from a failing television company are too much, it didn't stop me from getting 8/9

    5/9

    So it seems that I am the lowest around here.

    But I think that it is more of business history then CEO material so it doesn't really count

    8/9. I got question 4 wrong, but I recognised some of the others so I selected what the entrepreneur had actually done which is not necessarily what I would have done in that situation.
