Osobine ličnosti koje se tradicionalno povezuju s poduzetničkom osobnošću tema su brojnih istraživanja. Međutim, ne postoji konačno slaganje oko toga jesu li one urođene ili stečene i koje su to osobine uopće. Svrha ovoga rada bila je istražiti u kojoj mjeri se neke od njih odnose na konkretne poduzetnike. Ispitane osobine su: sklonost riziku, tolerancija na neizvjesnost, lokus kontrole, optimizam, samopouzdanje i komunikacijske vještine. Pritom su korištene metode online upitnika i intervjua, a rezultati su prikazani u studijama slučaja. Istraživanjem je potvrđeno da unatoč određenim pojedinačnim odstupanjima ispitanici uglavnom posjeduju osobine koje se smatraju poželjnim osobinama poduzetnika. Ipak, nedostatak korištene metode je malen broj ispitanika, stoga bi buduća istraživanja trebala biti provedena na statistički značajnijem uzorku.

Personality traitstraditionally associated with entrepreneurial personality are the subject of numerous researches. However, the consensus on whether they are born or acquired, and what these traits are in fact, still hasn't been reached. The purpose of this paper was to examine to what extent some of them relate to specific entrepreneurs. The examined traits are: risk taking, tolerance to uncertainty, locus of control, optimism, self-confidence, and communication skills. The methods used to test it were the online questionnaire and interview, and the results are presented in case studies. The research has confirmed that, in spite of certain individual deviations, respondents generally possess characteristics that are considered preferable traits of entrepreneurs. However, the limitation of the used method is a small number of respondents, hence the future research should be carried out on a statistically more significant sample.
