Entrepreneurs come in all shapes and sizes, but certain personality traits often lead to success. These include being proactive, resilient, and comfortable with taking risks.

Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) for Entrepreneurs
The MBTI is a popular personality assessment tool that categorizes people into 16 personality types based on preferences in four areas: Extraversion/Introversion, Sensing/Intuition, Thinking/Feeling, and Judging/Perceiving.
Certain MBTI types, such as ENTJ (Extraverted, Intuitive, Thinking, Judging) and ESTP (Extraverted, Sensing, Thinking, Perceiving), are commonly found among entrepreneurs.
