Growth vs Fixed Mindset
What is a growth mindset?
People with a growth mindset believe that their abilities and talents can be developed through effort, good teaching and persistence. These people are willing to give everything a try and get back up when they fail.
What is a fixed mindset?
People with a fixed mindset believe that abilities and talents are just fixed traits and cannot change. These people are not willing to give things a try and give up when things get too tough.
Which is better and why?
Having a growth mindset is better because it allows you to try new opportunities and can help you overcome different obstacles when learning. This links to the 9 different multiple intelligences because someone with a fixed mindset will believe that they are only good at certain ones and won't be willing to improve the ones they aren't so good at. Whereas people with a growth mindset will believe that even though they may be better at some of the multiple intelligences on that list than others they are still believe that they can improve and are willing to try.
