Following on from Brendan's thread I found this article which also links to the quiz that was posted. Here is a quick except that pretty much sums it up;

Does personality matter in becoming a successful entrepreneur? Recent studies say yes, successful entrepreneurs share a number of common personality traits, and these traits are the predominant indicators of their success-outweighing education, family ties, skills and experience. Moreover, people who choose business ventures that are in sync with their true personalities tend to experience the greatest level of success and fulfillment.
I also tend to agree, I have spoken with numerous entrepreneurs over the past few years and they all seem to have very similar personality traits, they are extremely driven, optimistic, enthusiastic and passionate.. which are traits I dont think you can learn anywhere..

Anyway.. for the article, read here - What's Your Entrepreneurial Personality Type? - Entrepreneur.com


Would love to know your thoughts.. do you think entrepreneurs are born or made?
