Growth Mindset

1st of February, 2020

Stanford psychologist Carol Dweck found, in her book ‘Mindset’, that people adopt two mindsets: Fixed Mindset and Growth Mindset

1. Fixed Mindset:
   • Believe that they’re born with a predetermined amount of intelligence - either they’re smart or they’re not.
   • Failure indicates they’re not smart.
   • They do things that validates their strength.
   • Give up early and easily.
   • They prefer to point to Lack of effort instead lack of ability
2. Growth Mindset
   • Believe they can cultivate and grow intelligence.
   • View failures and challenges as opportunity.
   • Don’t give up.
