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.' The Mindset Assessment is a quick diagnostic tool drawn from research-validated measures for students to use to assess their mindsets.
