The characteristics of entrepreneurs
Entrepreneurs often have a business degree in a subject such as management or marketing, but that’s not always the case, and it’s not all they need to be successful. Psychology Today (PT) reported that entrepreneurs tend to have a specific personality. Using the “Big Five Dimensions,” PT found that they’re typically high in the following traits:
- Openness to experience — a willingness to consider new ideas
- Extraversion — the desire to be the center of attention and interact with others
- Conscientiousness — a tendency to work hard and follow rules
Alternatively, entrepreneurs were found to be low in the following dimensions:
- Agreeableness — a wish to be liked by others
- Neuroticism — a general emotional instability often characterized by worrying
