This study examines the personality patterns of solo founders in both high-tech and non-high-tech sectors during the first seven years of their entrepreneurial journey to emphasize the patterns' implications during policymaking, investment decisions, and self-assessments. IAB/ZEW startup panel microdata for the sector classification of 4470 solo entrepreneurs in Germany were analyzed to identify Big Five trait patterns influenced by risk propensities, innovation inclination, and gender. The entrepreneurial profiles indicate positive openness, emotional resilience, and sector-specific clusters. Conscientiousness suggests flexibility, and while variations in extraversion and agreeableness exist, negative neuroticism was predominantly found, except for gender-related differences and multidimensional service innovators. Big Five traits provide information about important foundational profile patterns to describe unique solo entrepreneur types influenced by risk, innovation, and gender. Originality and value: Risk propensity characterizes 'Adaptive Services,' 'Dynamic Knowledge Innovators,' and 'Strategic Risk Navigators.' Additionally, 'Multidimensional Service Innovators' and 'Focused Tech Innovators' signify innovation understanding. The Big Five profiles show openness and emotional stability across sectors, providing crucial insights for effective entrepreneurial support and investment strategies.
本研究考察了高科技和非高科技领域中个体创业者在创业前七年的人格模式，强调了这些模式在政策制定、投资决策和自我评估中的意义。为了识别受风险倾向、创新倾向和性别影响的大五特质模式，对德国 4470 名个体创业者的 IAB/ZEW 创业面板微观数据进行了分析。创业档案显示出积极的开放性、情绪弹性和特定于部门的集群。尽责性表明了灵活性，虽然外向性和宜人性存在差异，但主要发现是消极的神经质，除了与性别相关的差异和多维服务创新者。大五特质提供了有关重要基础档案模式的信息，用于描述受风险、创新和性别影响的独特个体创业者类型。新颖性和价值：风险倾向特征是“适应性服务”、“动态知识创新者”和“战略风险导航员”。此外，“多维服务创新者”和“专注技术创新者”表示创新理解。大五特质档案显示了各部门的开放性和情绪稳定性，为有效的创业支持和投资策略提供了关键见解。
