Intelligence is static

Desire to look smart

(Goal: be smart now)

Desire to learn

(Goal: become smarter)

These place people on different paths by

influencing behaviors and tendencies

Present-focused

Self-worth and identity tied to

outcome

Potential is sum of current

capabilities

Future-focused

Potential is based on continued

effort and learning

Dweck, Carol S. Mindset: The New Psychology of Success. New York: Ballantine Books. 2006.

development

Obstacles
