WHAT IS MINDSET?
What is mindset? A mental attitude that determines how you will interpret and
respond to situations.
Fixed mindsetIn a fixed mindset, people believe their basic qualities, like their intelligence or
talent, are simply fixed traits. They spend their time documenting their
intelligence or talent instead of developing them. They also believe that talent
alone creates success—without effort. They’re wrong.
Growth mindset
In a growth mindset, people believe that their most basic abilities can be
developed through dedication and hard work—brains and talent are just the
starting point. This view creates a love of learning and a resilience that is
essential for great accomplishment.
No mat te r how much you l ea rn o r how
hard you work your i n te l l i gence s tays
the same!
There i s a f i xed i n te l l i gence tha t
can be measured us ing an IQ tes t
(Dweck , 2010)
Alfred Binet
Invented the first useable
IQ test
YESTERDAY’S THEORY: WE ARE BORN
WITH INTELLIGENCE
TODAY’S THEORY: MINDSET MATTERS
The distinguishing feature of geniuses is their passion and
dedication to their craft, and particularly, the way in which they
identify, confront, and take pains to remedy their weaknesses
(Good, Rattan, & Dweck, 2008).
IN OTHER WORDS...It’s not what you are born with that matters;
it’s your mindset that matters
