Question

Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of an entrepreneur?
a. Need for independence
b. Need for affiliation
c. Need for achievement
d. Risk taking

Answer 1

The need for affiliation is not a characteristic of an entrepreneur.

• The need for affiliation is the characteristic where a person yearns for the approval of others.
• An entrepreneur on the other hand doesn't give too much importance to the thoughts of others and focuses on his work only.
• A person who gives too much importance to what others think of him will never be able to build something new because doing that requires going out of the traditional way.
• All the other options such as the need for independence, need for achievement, and calculated risk-taking nature are the characteristics of a successful entrepreneur.
