My Growth Mindset

As part of the course lectures, the Growth Mindset theory came up. I’m sure that I have already taken this test before, but it was still intriguing to see that I have a mostly growth mindset (I agreed with 1 of the Fixed Mindset statements and 7 Growth Mindset statements). I was also interested to come across holamisslise’s post wherein she described that as an Aspie (a person with Asperger’s Syndrome), she considers the fact that she may have very different answers than if she were neurotypical. I have this thought often too, and was actually expecting myself to have more of a Fixed Mindset (more typical of autistic thinking), just as she also had.

My Mindset

My results from the Mindset Test says “you agreed with 0 of Fixed Mindset statements and 8 of Growth Mindset Statements.You have mostly a Growth Mindset.” I’d like to think that was true! I do think that nearly everything is adaptable, that you change your learning and understanding of certain things. I’d also like to think that I have a growth mindset when it comes to ICTs. I often tell my Mum that I just play around with new technologies (phone, computer etc.) and can pick it up quickly through exploration when she asks me for help in learning something new. Exploration is key!
