In particular, when considering the definition of entrepreneurship given by Timmons  saying that “the ability to make the endeavor's founder team that can be made complete with the skills and talent that has possess.” This information is beneficial for judging the strength of characteristic and skill competency being owned at the time of deciding whether to begin a business or not. It also requires determining founding team business who has characteristics and skill complementary one another. Driessen & Swartz (1999) have conducted researches in order to develop entrepreneur’s scan, to measure characteristic and entrepreneurs’ natures. First, a standard measuring tool was made to see the standard profile of entrepreneur in various business fields. This standard measuring tool was made to be a comparing means to see the characteristic profile and the entrepreneur’s natures that newly start his/her business. The result of the research showed that the greatest difference between the average profiles and the standard ones is the need of autonomy and market awareness. In case of endurance, the both profiles are very close to each other.
