In our empirical approach, we seek to find out if there is a relationship between Entrepreneurship and Intelligence Quotient (I.Q), Emotional Quotient (E.Q), Creativity Quotient (CQ), ADHD and Leadership skills (including Ambassador, Advocate, People Mover, Truth- Seeker, Creative Builder and Experienced Guide). The respondents in the study were MBA students at IBS, UTM, UNIRAZAK and participants in the Graduates Bio-technology entrepreneurial program at UNIRAZAK. The instruments of the study were stochastic self tests sourced from the internet (which were proven and used by hundreds of thousands respondents in the past). The participants sat for the test at computer labs at UTM and IBS. The findings showed that there is weak positive correlation between Entrepreneurship traits and Creativity and with Leadership while the correlation with Emotional Quotient (E.Q) was quite strong. ADHD were found to be unrelated to Entrepreneurship trait. The findings also showed that Emotional Quotient (E.Q) and Intelligent Quotient (I.Q) have weak positive correlation with Creativity.

The respondents in the study were MBA students at IBS, UTM, UNIRAZAK and participants in the Graduates Bio-technology entrepreneurial program at UNIRAZAK. The instruments of the study were stochastic self tests sourced from the internet (which were proven and used by hundreds of thousands respondents in the past). The participants sat for the test at computer labs at UTM and IBS. The findings showed that there is weak positive correlation between Entrepreneurship traits and Creativity and with Leadership while the correlation with Emotional Quotient (E.Q) was quite strong. ADHD were found to be unrelated to Entrepreneurship trait. The findings also showed that Emotional Quotient (E.Q) and Intelligent Quotient (I.Q) have weak positive correlation with Creativity.
