Theres some interesting stuff in the article that you link to - the idea that entrepreneurs aren't gamblers being one. However, research into 'entrepreneurial traits' (personality characteristics or demographics that entrepreneurs share) has proved to be pretty fruitless. His comment that 'People with below-average intelligence should probably not start businesses' led me to try and found out exactly who the writer is - much googling later and I now know that William J. Stolze founded, "one of the Rochester area's most successful entrepreneurial ventures of the last half of the twentieth century." Good for him and his above average intelligence. Nature, nurture, or neither.

From my research so far, I found that most entrepreneurs are either rank the first or second in terms of age in their family among their brothers and sisters. It would be great if I could reach more entrepreneurs to find out more aspects of their characters and challenges. Thanks Emma, I have read that article, it is very interesting.
