Fixed vs. Growth Mindsets (Carol Dweck)

People with performance goals, [Carol Dweck] reasoned, think intelligence is fixed from birth. People with learning goals have a growth mind-set about intelligence, believing it can be developed. (Among themselves, psychologists call the growth mind-set an “incremental theory,” and use the term “entity theory” for the fixed mind-set.) Illustrated by Nigel Holmes
