The acquisition of entrepreneurial skills is a complex phenomenon influenced by different factors and dimensions. The objective of this study has been to analyze the relationship that exists between these skills and multiple intelligences, considering relevant Extremadura personalities that have reached a high level of success. To do this, a mixed empirical study was conducted, the results of which indicate that although not all intelligences influence all entrepreneurial skills, there are intelligences that are related to different entrepreneurial skills, obtaining interesting results.
According to this study, interpersonal intelligence has the most relationship with the entrepreneurial skills of the participants, specifically with creativity, initiative, leadership, the need for achievement, tolerance for change, problem management, and energy. and ability to work. This intelligence has its greatest impact in terms of the leadership of these people, followed by creativity.
