I don’t think this is helpful. There is no medical test for it being in your blood. This ends up being a self-fulfilling prophecy. If you quit, it wasn’t in your blood, if you succeed it was in your blood. Most entrepreneurs I’ve come across so far in SV have taken very little risk and come from rich, prestigious backgrounds. The ‘entrepreneurship porn’ of the amazing struggle tends to primarily be used to justify the huge disparity between employee and founder/vc equity. The “they deserve it” crowd, when in reality it’s just the structure of the power dynamic and has little to do with deserving.
