Entity Theorist (FixedMindset of Intelligence)
Incremental Theorist (GrowthMindset of Intelligence)
Views traits of intelligence as fixedentity, and easily judged frombehaviour and performance.
Views mistakes as a threat to exposureto real intelligence.
Students would enjoy opportunities tolook smart in areas they are alreadycomfortable with, they require a dietof easy success to maintain theirperception of intelligence. Challenges
are therefore a threat to self-esteem.
Tendency to lead validation seekingindividuals (for competence,likeability, and self-worth) leads tohaving contingent self-worth.
Intelligence is malleable and canbe cultivated throughlearning/development.
views mistakes as part of thegrowth process.
Even students with low confidencein their intelligence will enjoytaking on challenges and difficulttasks.
What makes them feel smart is
engaging, exerting effort to mastersomething, stretching their skillsand applying knowledge.
Tendency to lead to Growthseeking individuals.

Their awareness of their intelligence andcompetence as ongoing work-in-development independent of theoutcome of situations.

There is a regenerating quality to having anincremental outlook on intelligence that ismore suited for an entrepreneurial pursuit.
This can vastly overcome any dips in time orsituation-based specific influences on anindividuals level of self-esteem or confidence
that is usually attributed to influencingmotivation.

Under this new link to motivation, achievement is
motivated by the desire to experience competenceand avoid experiencing incompetence according toa persons theory of their own intelligence.
Some of our earlier conditioning and environmentalset-up in terms of (support structures) work maybe working to reinforce an entity outlook of ourintelligence and competence.
More sustainable than having confidence is havingan incremental outlook which will motivate aperson to pursue growth.
