This is just a poll to satisfy my own personal curiosity.  Say you saw a recruiting flyer with one of the above choices printed in bold, red letters at the top.  Which would sound better to you?

Personally, "THINK YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES?", succinct.


Though I hear, "Think you've got what it takes?" a lot more.

I find 'You've' to be more grammatically satisfying.

Sounds better for me.
