Resumen

Universities must have an instrument that allows to measure the entrepreneurial profile of the future professional that allows quick access to the work environment. The study evaluated the entrepreneurial profile scale in Peruvian university students through the psychometric analysis of validity and reliability. A previously validated questionnaire in another context was adapted and applied to 354 students from a public university in Trujillo (Peru) aged 19 to 23 years. Validity was determined by evaluating the content and construct; while, for reliability, Cronbach’s Alpha was used. A V Aiken of 0.94 was found; the Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin test and the Bartlett sphericity test yielded a value greater than 0.5; communalities with minimum and maximum values of 0.586 and 0.881; with the identification of 9 dimensions, analyzed by decomposition of the total variance (73.942%) and rotated components; In the correlation analysis, a significant difference was found in the dimension-test, item-dimension and item-test. In reliability, a Cronbach’s Alpha value of 0.833 was found. It is concluded that the entrepreneur profile scale is valid and reliable for the Peruvian context.
