    Question Noun or adj

    hello,
    this sentence should use nouns(confidence) or adjective(confident)?


    The personality traits of entrepreneurs as well as managers are confidence/confident.


    Thank You

    Default Re: Noun or adj

    I'd use the nouns because it is the trait, and not modifying it or describing it.
