This paper investigates the psychological factors of female entrepreneurship, with a particular focus on personality\nand motivational factors ââ?¬â? addressing a weakness in the existing literature. Through the use of two psychometric\nmeasures, the Measure of Entrepreneurial Tendencies and Abilities, and the Motives, Values and Preferences Inventory,\nfemale entrepreneurs are strongly motivated by a need for power, commerce, logical decision making, aesthetics and a\nneed for change. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.
