First question: are they?
The paper mentioned (https://michaelafreemanmd.com/Research_files/Are%20Entrepreneurs%20Touched%20with%20Fire-summary.pdf https://michaelafreemanmd.com/Research_files/Are%20Entrepren...) doesn’t convince me.
As they acknowledge, a limitation is that it is on self-reported data.
I don’t have any underlying data, but would expect entrepreneurs to be more extrovert, and being more likely to be willing to disclose information about their mental state.
Entrepreneurs also are used to selling themselves and “I had a carefree youth, started this company with a few million my parents gave me, and look where I’m now” sells worse than “I grew up in gang territory and had a troubled youth, and look where I’m now”.
As I said, I don’t have data, but I expect that to explain a lot of that 50%, if not almost all of it.
