What defines an entrepreneur? Many studies have been conducted to determine whether company founders share certain personality traits and characteristics.From these findings, a profile has emerged which can be used to forewarn individuals who want to start companies but may not be ideally suited to entrepreneurship. Yet such assessments aren’t foolproof. Entrepreneurs come in all shapes and sizes, and many who don’t conform to the standard have been wildly successful at being their own bosses.
Still, if you’re thinking of going into business for yourself, it may be comforting to find out if you have the traits and characteristics typical of entrepreneurs. Many have used the 26-question quiz developed from my research on entrepreneurs to answer this question. It was first published three decades ago and has been updated every few years. From the results, you can decide how well suited you are to founding a company.
