(big 5)

Still reading it, but… an important point would be how they (implicitly or explicitly) define “entrepreneur”.

https://t.co/vnYdE5ZRVU
“Many studies consider the “traits of entrepreneurs” or the “traits that make entrepreneurs successful.” ”

What type of person tries to do entrepreneurial things versus What type of person succeeds after trying to do entrepreneurial things.

https://t.co/vnYdE5ZRVU
“We focus […] on […]: (1) the personality traits of entrepreneurs and how they compare to other groups; (2) the attitudes towards risk that entrepreneurs display; and (3) the overall goals and aspirations that entrepreneurs bring to their pursuits.”

https://t.co/vnYdE5ZRVU
“The bulk of recent literature seeks to answer two main questions: (1) Do certain traits predict an individual’s likelihood of becoming an entrepreneur, and (2) Do certain traits predict an entrepreneur’s likelihood of achieving “successful” outcomes?”

https://t.co/vnYdE5ZRVU
“We considered articles with various definitions of entrepreneurs, most commonly self-employed individuals or business owner-managers. We excluded studies looking solely at subsistence entrepreneurship, partially because these studies are so sparse.”

https://t.co/vnYdE5ZRVU
“Many of the personality questionnaires were conducted with business-track university students”

How would data like this be useful for understanding entrepreneurs? (These aren't entrepreneurs.)

https://t.co/vnYdE5ZRVU
“it is often unclear [in these studies] as to whether individuals with a given set of personality traits selected into entrepreneurship, or whether the traits were developed endogenously by individuals after becoming entrepreneurs”

https://t.co/vnYdE5ZRVU
Too much to quote to fit into a tweet but…

Entrepreneurs seem to tend to be higher in Openness, lower in Agreeableness, and lower in Neuroticism than Managers (on average (?) I'd assume)

But what do Managers (in these studies) look like on Big 5 though?
https://t.co/vnYdE5ZRVU
“Entrepreneurs are consistently found to be more open to experience than managers (O+).”

https://t.co/vnYdE5ZRVU
“[the results of a survey found that] practicing entrepreneurs are the most open to experience, potential entrepreneurs slightly less open, maybe-entrepreneurs even less open, and non-entrepreneurs the least open [on average (?)].”

https://t.co/vnYdE5ZRVU
“Necessity- versus opportunity-
driven entrepreneurs [could] certainly bring different personality traits”

https://t.co/vnYdE5ZRVU
“The need for achievement refers to an individual’s desire for significant accomplishment, mastering of skills, and attaining challenging goals.”

राम-रावण युद्ध समाप्त हो चुका था। जगत को त्रास देने वाला रावण अपने कुटुम्ब सहित नष्ट हो चुका था।श्रीराम का राज्याभिषेक हुआ और अयोध्या नरेश श्री राम के नेतृत्व में चारों दिशाओं में शन्ति थी।
अंगद को विदा करते समय राम रो पड़े थे ।हनुमान को विदा करने की शक्ति तो राम में थी ही नहीं ।


माता सीता भी हनुमान को पुत्रवत मानती थी। अत: हनुमान अयोध्या में ही रह गए ।राम दिनभर दरबार में, शासन व्यवस्था में व्यस्त रहते थे। संध्या को जब शासकीय कार्यों में छूट मिलती तो गुरु और माताओं का कुशल-मंगल पूछ अपने कक्ष में जाते थे। परंतु हनुमान जी हमेशा उनके पीछे-पीछे ही रहते थे ।


उनकी उपस्थिति में ही सारा परिवार बहुत देर तक जी भर बातें करता ।फिर भरत को ध्यान आया कि भैया-भाभी को भी एकांत मिलना चाहिए ।उर्मिला को देख भी उनके मन में हूक उठती थी कि इस पतिव्रता को भी अपने पति का सानिध्य चाहिए ।

एक दिन भरत ने हनुमान जी से कहा,"हे पवनपुत्र! सीता भाभी को राम भैया के साथ एकांत में रहने का भी अधिकार प्राप्त है ।क्या आपको उनके माथे पर सिन्दूर नहीं दिखता?इसलिए संध्या पश्चात आप राम भैया को कृप्या अकेला छोड़ दिया करें "।
ये सुनकर हनुमान आश्चर्यचकित रह गए और सीता माता के पास गए ।


माता से हनुमान ने पूछा,"माता आप अपने माथे पर सिन्दूर क्यों लगाती हैं।" यह सुनकर सीता माता बोलीं,"स्त्री अपने माथे पर सिन्दूर लगाती है तो उसके पति की आयु में वृद्धि होती है और वह स्वस्थ रहते हैं "। फिर हनुमान जी प्रभु राम के पास गए ।
