People with a fixed mindset believe their abilities are essentially static — you either have them or you don't. This leads to avoiding challenges, giving up when things get hard, and taking feedback personally. People with a growth mindset believe abilities can be developed through effort and learning. They tend to embrace challenges, persist through difficulty, and use feedback constructively. Most people have a mix of both — which is actually the most common profile.
