Fixed vs Growth Mindset
Fixed Mindset:
A person with a fixed mindset believes that their skills, intelligences, and abilities are fixed. They don't believe that these can change and grow as they learn. They tend to not true new things as much as they are scared of failing because they thinks its embarrassing and they don't believe their skills can change. From example a fixed mindset person will think that if they are not good at something, they will probably never be good at it.
Growth Mindset:
A person with a growth mindset believes that their skills, intelligences and abilities are able to change and grow if they decide they decided they want to get better and develop these things. They are willing to try new things as they believe failure is just a learning curve and that the more you try the more you improve. They believe that their intelligences and talents can be developed and grow as they learn. A growth mindset person will think that if they are not good at something, the harder they work the more they can grow at that something.
Everyone is intelligent in their own way. It doesn't have to be through maths or english or how "smart" you are. Your intelligence isn't defined by how much knowledge you can store in your brain. Everyone is a part of one of these intelligences.
1. Music
2. Linguistic
3. Intrapersonal
4. Interpersonal
5. Nature
6. Logic
7. Kinesthetics
8. Visual
9. Existential
A person with a fixed mindset will believe that people are born with a certain intelligence and that they cant learn and improve their other intelligence, whereas a person with a growth mindset will believe that if they learn and work hard enough they can improve their different intelligence and can grow any of the 9 intelligence listed above. Some people are born where one of these intelligences is easy for them rather than someone else. This does not mean that you cant improve in the others that you don't feel as confident in. I believe that having a growth mindset is better because it allows you to develop and improve as a person and you are not afraid to try new things even if at the start you are not the best, if you work hard enough you can become the best.
