“ A Survey of entrepreneurial character

traits”

Presented By: James Bradley Huang IV - BS Accountancy

 I. summary
One of the characteristics that may lead a person to develop an entrepreneurial mindset and become a
potential entrepreneur is their personality traits. The focus of this research was to identify potential entrepreneurs by
assessing their personality traits and providing a set of questionnaires that enabled them to assess their ability to
become better entrepreneurs in the future.

This study was conducted on 20 college students taking different courses. The range of their ages is
around 20 to 22 years old. There were more female respondents than males. The respondents' year levels were from
second-year to fourth-year levels. Then, the respondents’ courses were: education, mechanical engineer, accountancy,
marketing, export management, entrepreneurship, and finance management. The researcher used google form as a tool
to conduct a survey. The survey sheet contains eleven personality traits whereby the respondents rate themselves using
the characteristic scales, such as "I strongly possess this trait," "I possess this trait," "I fairly possess this trait," and "I
poorly possess this trait." Using the characteristics scale, we will identify if they have the qualities to become an
entrepreneur in the future based on their personality traits.

The study's findings and analysis were used to show the data. It was discovered that an individual's
personality attributes had a beneficial impact on becoming an entrepreneur. We also discovered that the majority of the
respondents are in business courses, meaning there is a significant connection between the courses they are taking and
their future career goals. They have the potential to be entrepreneurs.
