I believe that entrepreneurs do possess certain personality traits. If I had to label entrepreneurs according to the Myers Brigg index, I would say they are intuitive, thinking, and perceiving. I left out introvert/extrovert becasue I think entrepreneaurs can be either. I would label them as intuitive because probably solve problems by looking at different possibilities and ideas and they are interested in things that are new and different. I would place them inthe thinking category because I tend to think of them as being technical and scientific, they notive inconsistencies and look for logical explanations to problems, and are task oriented. Lastly, I would place them in the perceiving category because most entrpreneurs seem to enjoy their work and are open to new information.
Along with these personality traits, there are a few others that come to mind when I think of entrepreneurs. Innovation and creativity are two traits that I associate with entrpreneurs because coming up with a product or business requires them. It's tough to think up an idea and putting it in motion is even more difficult, so I would say an entrepreneur must absolutly be innovative and creative.
Determination and ambition are also traits associated with entrpreneurs. It takes a lot of work to establish and idea, aquire all the neccessary resources, and then put in the time and effort it takes to run a business or design a product; therefore, an entrepreneur must be driven.
