Using a new database of 391 interviews of French SME managers, this paper investigates the consistency of the Miller indicator of entrepreneurial orientation by relying on Sono-Leontief conditions. The main results suggest that Miller's construct is impacted by internal effects that cast doubts on its internal reliability, and that multidimensional assessments of entrepreneurial orientation should be preferred in empirical research.
