Psychology Expert | | | | Do You Have a Fixed or Growth Mindset? | Quick Quiz: Which of the following statements do you most agree with?
1. People have a certain amount of intelligence, and there isn't any way to change it.
2. You can learn new things and improve your intelligence.
If you agree with the first statement, then you may have what psychologist Carol Dweck calls a fixed mindset. People with fixed mindsets tend to believe that certain qualities are innate. You either have them or you don't, and there is nothing you can do to improve.
If you agree more with the second statement, then you probably have a growth mindset. People with this kind of mindset believe that change and growth are possible with hard work.
So why are these mindsets so important? Dweck suggests that they play a pivotal role in motivation, success, and achievement.
