I am sure that we have all heard the term “mindset” or at
least the idea of a person’s “frame of mind.” Our outlook pretty much
determines most of the pathways we take and many of the decisions we
make.
In 2006, Stanford University Professor, Dr. Carol Dweck, penned what has become one of the most discussed and referenced books in education. Titled Mindset: The New Psychology of Success: How we Can Learn To Fulfill Our Potential, Dr. Dweck delves in to the differences between a fixed mindset, where people are afraid of making mistakes and thus do not accept challenges very well, and the growth mindset where people seek to grow and learn, thus accepting challenges and responding to criticism in a positive and constructive way. So which mindset do you have? There is an simple test that can help you diagnose your mindset at Dr. Dweck’s page. Check it out and see what she has to say about the different mindsets and how they impact learning.
