Okay, then on that note, what's everyone's Big Five personality test score? There's an online inventory at:

http://www.personalitytest.net/ipip/ipipneo120.htm

Mine is 10 (3-4-4-70-17-57) / 73 (70-61-33-80-74-63) / 43 (52-33-41-35-26-80) / 41 (12-20-53-89-48-28) / 67 (81-50-5-38-87-87) in test order (that's Extraversion/Agreeableness/Conscientiousness/Neuroticism/Openness). Interestingly, that seems like it's about the worst possible personality for an entrepreneur, with super low scores in all the extraversion categories, high cautiousness, high self-consciousness, low self-discipline and adventurousness.



I don't remember my scores offhand, but I remember getting weird results the last time I took an online version. I think it said I had low openness to experience, which is weird, because that factor should be pretty much off the charts for me. It's important to remember that while the categories themselves have empirical support, the specific test you took might not have high reliability for assigning scores within any given category.
