The Entrepreneurial Attributes: Locus of Control questionnaire below provides you with an opportunity to see where you currently stand (but note that locus of control beliefs are also influenced by context and can vary over time, especially if success breeds success).
The scoring system behind this questionnaire was devised by Colin Gray for his Phd on Enterprise Culture. He retains the copyright.
The locus of control theory has been found to be useful in analysing the behaviour and beliefs of successful entrepreneurs. If you feel you scored a bit low for your own liking, this is another indication that a team approach may be best.
If you want to boost your feeling of internal locus of control, one suggestion would be to set yourself attainable objectives and push yourself to achieve them. However, it is important to bear in mind that psychological scales and tests of this kind only ever measure tendencies (not absolute and immutable behaviour that holds in all circumstances) and never attain anything like 100 per cent accuracy. And, in any case, personal belief and motivation is only one part of the entrepreneurial equation.
