Abstract

Using AI and clustering methods, we found that self-descriptions of students applying to entrepreneurial schools differed in meaning (i.e., semantics) and the words being used (e.g., funny, friendly, creative, smart, kind, determined, and curious) compared to self-descriptions of a large population of US-residents. Thus, suggesting a specific aspiring entrepreneurial identity.
