If your total score was 26 to 31 …

Based on your answers in the quiz, you have a Growth Mindset with some fixed ideas. You understand that change is possible, so now you can explore what kinds of changes are possible that you couldn’t previously imagined.

If your total score was 15 to 25 …

Based on your answers in the quiz, you have a Fixed Mindset with some growth ideas.  Take the growth ideas you have and put them side by side with the areas where you weren’t as growth-oriented.  Explore why some ideas are more intuitive for you.  Then research the science.   It can also be very helpful to find someone with a strong Growth Mindset to mentor you.

If you scored 14 or fewer points …

Based on your answers in the quiz, you have a strong Fixed Mindset.  Now you have a choice.  You can stay where you are or you can be open to change.  If you are open to change, we have three recommendations for you.  First, look up brain plasticity; plasticity is how brains change.  Second, realize that, whatever situation you are in, you have a choice.  You can learn from it and get smarter, or you can reject the incredible opportunities that a Growth Mindset offers. Third, find a friend or colleague with a Growth Mindset to mentor you.  We wish you much success!
