The main aim of this research is to investigate attitudes towards entrepreneurship. It was assumed that these attitudes depend on personality traits, like directiveness. The study group consisted of 368 students. The Ray Directiveness Scale was used. Attitudes has been assessed using a set of views – five pairs of statements from publication of Morawski and a publication edited by Reykowski. Results of the research show that persons with a higher directiveness index opted for free economic competition of enterprises, reduction of the state interventionism and meritocratic emolument rules. This group also presents more positive attitudes towards business people.
