One thing to keep in mind is that most people here are most likely related to software engineering. It may be that other industries would show different personalities when you rate their entrepreneurs.
ENTP. have started 2 companies (so far). But...I am only slightly E. It says 'moderately'.
My T swings wildly between Very T and barely T.

I get a different result each time I take one of these...but it's always INTP or ENFP, so I must be one of those.
I'm an ENTJ
I've always found these (especially Jung) to be scarily accurate in predicting what I am like.

I am usually ENTP but this time came out as and INFJ ... the complementary type - strange!
INTJ. The INT is strong and consistent, but I occasionally come out as an INTP.

My employer uses a similar style test called "Personalysis" (http://www.personalysis.com/), where they send all new hires to an 8 hour seminar for employees to "learn" how to better interact with co-workers based on personality traits.
The funny part is that it cost my organization more than 3k to send me to this seminar and I personally think the free online humanmetrics (ENTJ) by far more accurate. I guess it goes to show that you can convince giant corporations to buy anything if you pitch it to them correctly.
