_Investigating the Impact of Typological Self-Reflective Feedback on Entrepreneurial Self-Efficacy and Ethical Decision-Making Under Knightian Uncertainty: A Randomized Controlled Trial

This randomized controlled trial investigates whether structured typological identity feedback causally influences entrepreneurial self-efficacy and ethical decision-making among aspiring founders. Participants receive MBTI-style feedback, designed to activate categorical self-perception, or no intervention. While the MBTI-style typology serves as a stimulus for self-reflection, robust Big Five and HEXACO measures capture actual personality. We hypothesize that treatment enhances ESE and promotes adaptive, ethically sound decisions in simulated business scenarios, particularly under Knightian uncertainty. This study delineates how identity feedback reshapes self-perception, offering a mechanism linking personality interpretation to entrepreneurial decision-making under uncertainty. The study shows how feedback reinterprets existing traits, offering a novel mechanism for identity formation and strategic choices in entrepreneurial contexts, relevant for ethical leadership development. Does completing MBTI-style personality feedback influence self-assessed entrepreneurial self efficacy and decision making among aspiring founders?
