The research in the field of entrepreneurship is increasingly showing that entrepreneurial intentions are crucial for the entrepreneurial activity. The scientific interest of psychology in entrepreneurship is focused on the identification of characteristics that would indicate a preference for entrepreneurship. Therefore, this study is focused on examining entrepreneurial tendencies, abilities and entrepreneurial intentions of high school students. This research confirms that entrepreneurial awareness, entrepreneurial creativity, the use of opportunities and the desire to progress as factors of entrepreneurial inclinations are positively associated with entrepreneurial intentions and that students differ significantly in entrepreneurial intentions with regard to the type of school they attend. The assumption that students differ in their propensity to entrepreneurship due to the high school they attend has not been confirmed. Entrepreneurial education should be encouraged for all students regardless of the high school they attend and thus develop an entrepreneurial intention because it is crucial for the entrepreneurial activity. Since entrepreneurship has an increasingly important role in the economic development, the interest of researchers in this field does not decrease and the development of instruments to detect entrepreneurial inclinations is the topic of numerous research papers.
