Studies have used large samples of identical and fraternal twins to disentangle the role of genes and environment in entrepreneurship.

human behavior. Why? Because they assume that since monozygotic twins share 100% of their genes‚ and the dizygotic share 50% of their genes‚ they must have the same behavior. Like the Minnesota twin study that was done in 1990 by Bouchard. Where the twins lived apart from each other all their life‚ and they still had so much in common. The twins were tracked down‚ and at the end of the research they came up with the conclusion that the twins shared the same personality‚ as well as occupational interests
