What’s your mindset?

Mindset is a way of thinking. Your mindset is your collection of thoughts and beliefs that shape your actions. These beliefs affect how you think, what you feel, and what you do. We can have either a ‘Fixed Mindset’ or a ‘Growth Mindset.'

Our mindsets exist on a continuum from fixed to growth, and although we’d like to always have a growth mindset, the reality is that we can only be on a journey to a growth mindset. The goal is to recognize fixed mindset elements in ourselves and then reflect on feedback and strategies for how to improve.

The Mindset Assessment is a quick diagnostic tool drawn from research-validated measures for you to use to assess their mindsets. It has been used in many studies to show how mindsets can change, and can be used to identify areas in which you can work toward a growth mindset.
