A fixed mindset is when you believe that intelligence is something that you have or don’t have.
- You might have been raised to believe that everyone in your family is no good at Maths.
- You might dislike challenges, as they make you think you that you’re not as clever as you would like to be.
- Or you give up easily, and see effort as a waste of time, as you either know it – or you don’t.
- You can feel threatened by someone who is able to do something you can’t do.
- You don’t believe you can get better at something.
A growth mindset is when you have a strong belief that your intelligence can be developed.
- You welcome challenges as you see them as a chance to learn.
- You continually ask yourself if you can improve something.
- You persevere when things get difficult, and keep going.
- You see effort as a path to getting better at a skill, not as a reason to stop.
- You believe feedback is incredibly helpful, and positive criticism is a way to get better at things.
- You are inspired by the success of others, and see it as another way to learn and succeed yourself.
