What do Trump’s tweets say about his personality?
“These traits are rather untypical for entrepreneurs since working as an entrepreneur may not only require emotional stability and optimism but also be able to increase happiness due to procedural utility,” explains Obschonka, who adds that neuroticism isn’t necessarily all bad, for it can also stimulate competitiveness.
“Maybe this high neuroticism is a major motivator to succeed in Trump’s entrepreneurial
projects in his business life, but also in his role as political leader,” speculates Fisch.
“If social distinction is a core principle of the entrepreneurial personality, then we clearly see this principle reflected in his unusual personality profile,” says Fisch. “Many experts agree that really successful entrepreneurs not only dare to be different – they are different.”
The researchers speculate that having entrepreneurial personality traits could be advantageous in leading and governing an entrepreneurial society as a top-down process. But they stress that leading a company is very different from leading a country and it is unclear whether political leaders with an extremely entrepreneurial personality can indeed act strictly entrepreneurially in their highly responsible role.
