This review is from: Kaplan Going Indie: Self-Employment Freelance and Temping Opportunities (Paperback)

All the little tests are not helpful at all and very subjective...
The book is not helpful in regards to how to and what to look out for when going independent - and starting one's own company is not the same as going independent as contractor .
Probably tries to please too many different purposes and fails.
