Personality tests can show entrepreneurial skills
WEDNESDAY, JUNE 01, 2011 13:19 PM

Individuals can see if they would make good entrepreneurs by taking a personality test. Research by the Founder Institute shows that many Big Five personality traits can predict if someone will be a good entrepreneur, Tech Crunch reports.

For example, openness is one of the Big Five traits and describes an individual's desire to appreciate and view their environments. Typically, people who have this quality can also be described as curious or adventurous. According to the news outlet, this characteristic can be very beneficial to entrepreneurs, who must be open to new ideas and the changes that may affect their businesses.

Entrepreneurs should also be agreeable, which is another Big Five personality trait. This characteristic is used to measure a person's ability to cooperate and is often used to describe those who are compassionate. This may be a useful career for business owners, as they will need to stand their ground despite a few months of poor revenue or negative feedback.

According to officials from the University of Oregon, the other three Big Five traits are extraversion, conscientiousness and neuroticism.

Individuals who are interested to see if they would make good entrepreneurs may want to consider taking a personality test.
