ABSTRACT : Career selection is one of many important choices students make in determining their future plans and this decision will impact them throughout their lives. A number of factors play role in deciding the choice of a career. Personality as a whole has its own impact on choice of a career for an individual. Some of the traits may be positive for some professions while others may be negative for other profession. This Paper attempts to examine the effects of some of the personality factors of students on thier choice of becoming an entrepreneur. Primary data was collected from a sample of 530 final year students of professional courses in Uttarakhand who were interviewed and assessed on various personality factors. The key research objective of the study was to develop and empirically link general personality characteristics of students and their career intention upon completion of their professional course. The results from this study show that personality factors such as level of faith and commitment, drive and determination, level of energy and level of tolerance of risk and uncertainty influence a student's decision to become an entrepreneur. However , personality factors of leadership and passion are seen to be independent factors. 56
