Descripción :	Entrepreneurship is characterized as a planned behavior by an individual with a specific set of traits. Studies have found evidence that education acts as a mediator among traits associated with entrepreneurial behavior. This research explores levels of entrepreneurial traits and abilities of students in higher education in Puerto Rico and contrasts them with other countries. Our analysis suggests a gap between entrepreneurial traits levels and key entrepreneurial indicators. Dominant traits of Puerto Ricos participants indicate high levels of confidence, energy levels and thinking ability, but low presence of business knowledge, use of outside resources, initiative and responsibility, and number sense traits. Our study validated previous researches related to entrepreneurship education, which must provide students the hands-on and how-to technical skills to create, manage, assess, and sustain new enterprises.
