Previous analyses have indicated that the Big-5 personality traits (openness to experience, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism) predict the likelihood of intention, creation, and success in business ventures (Brandstätter, 2011), while narrow personality traits such as Extraversion and Conscientiousness have also been found to predict the entrepreneurial success more precisely (Rauch & Frese, 2007). This study aimed at finding out if 518 Kenyans possessed the right personality traits that would determine their E-entrepreneurship success or failure in online business ventures.
