Unlike physical science, entrepreneurship lacks measurement units through which to quantify constructs properly. This study explores the viability of logarithmically transformed Guttman scaling (GS). Need for Achievement (nAch), a quintessential entrepreneurial feature, illustrates the technique’s application. A valid and reliable 10-item Guttman nAch scale is developed, its unidimensionality psychometrically confirmed. Compliant with measurement theory, the scale offers concatenatable units that quantify nAch intensity. GS is a viable complement to psychometric methods, a useful addition to entrepreneurship’s methodological repertoire. Researchers are encouraged to expand their view of entrepreneurial constructs. Also approaching them from an intensity perspective offers fertile ground for future inquiry.

解决企业家精神中的建筑强度：以成就需要为例的对数转换古特曼标度

与物理科学不同，企业家精神缺乏衡量单位来正确量化结构。这项研究探索了对数转换的Guttman标度（GS）的可行性。成就需要（nAch）是一项典型的企业家功能，说明了该技术的应用。开发了一个有效且可靠的10项Guttman nAch量表，并从心理上证实了其一维性。符合测量理论，该秤提供可量化nAch强度的可级联单位。GS是心理测量方法的可行补充，是企业家精神方法库中有用的补充。鼓励研究人员扩大他们对企业家构架的看法。从强度的角度来看它们也为将来的研究提供了沃土。
