The Entrepreneur I Most Resemble

Using the 8 factors of entrepreneurial profile advocated by Cubico, Bortolani, Favretto and Sartori (2010) and/or the results from your Entrepreneurial Aptitude Test, who would you say you most resemble if you were an entrepreneur? You may use more than one entrepreneur to argue your case.
