A high score on the "Opportunity-Ability" scale in the absence of high scores on the "Arrangements" or "Willingness" scales demonstrates that this type individual has a high level of new venture formation (NVF) knowledge, unaccompanied by either the NVF infrastructure, or the motivation to actualize a new venture.

Accordingly, this type of individual could capably serve as an advisor to a venture without having to commit resources, or sustain venture motivation.  Once again, in terms of expert information processing theory (EIPT), this type of individual is partially able to actualize the "doing" portion of a NVF script, but not "entry."

DISCLAIMER:
The information provided by this instrument IS NOT SUFFICIENT BY ITSELF to predict the success of any given new business.  Instead, it is designed to add to the store of information available  most preferably before the venture is started, or even if the venture is already underway, with the intention that the chances of success will be improved.
