Mindset Table

The document contrasts a fixed mindset with a growth mindset. A fixed mindset believes abilities are set and failure is threatening, while a growth mindset sees potential as unlimited and failure as an opportunity to learn. Some key differences highlighted are that those with a fixed mindset are concerned with proving their worth, take criticism personally, and believe effort is pointless, while those with a growth mindset embrace challenges, seek feedback to improve, and believe skills and abilities can be developed through effort.
