According to recent research by Carol Dweck, there are two types of students.
Both types may show a lot of promise at first, but only one of the types typically goes on to achieve impressive results in their lives.
The other type tends to achieve less and less over time.
What are these two types of students? Those with a fixed mindset, and those with a growth mindset.
Students with a fixed mindset struggle more as time goes on, held back by anxiety and stress. They believe that their abilities are fixed, so if they fail at a task then that must mean they are incapable of it and should never try it again.
Meanwhile, students with a growth mindset flourish even when challenge increases. They believe that their abilities grow through trying new things, even if they fail. They tend to see failure as uncomfortable but useful and important.
“You’re in charge of your mind. You can help it grow by using it in the right way.” —Carol Dweck, Mindset: The New Psychology of Success
As a result, according to Dweck’s findings, students with growth mindsets are able to achieve results up to 3 times better than students with fixed mindsets. And that gap widens further over time.
Discovering what type of mindset you have could be the most important thing you do today.
Take the interactive test below to get started.
1. You’re born with a certain amount of intelligence and it isn’t something that can be changed.
Agree Maybe Disagree
2. Intelligence can increase or decrease depending on whether or not you spend time exercising your mind.
Agree Maybe Disagree
3. You can learn new things but you can’t change your underlying level of intelligence.
Agree Maybe Disagree
4. Learning new things can increase your underlying intelligence.
Agree Maybe Disagree
5. Talent is something you’re born with, not something you can develop.
Agree Maybe Disagree
6. If you practice something for long enough, you can develop a talent for it.
Agree Maybe Disagree
7. People who are good at a particular skill were born with a higher level of natural ability.
Agree Maybe Disagree
8. People who are good at a particular skill have spent a lot of time practising that skill, regardless of natural ability.
Having a growth mindset is a huge benefit in life, so make sure you keep it up.
Create daily reminders for yourself of the positive effects of this mindset. And help yourself even more by helping others whenever you can, to feel more positive about any challenges they’re facing.
Provide one example of how having a growth mindset could benefit you in the nursing field.
Provide one example of how having a fixed mindset could benefit you in the nursing field.
