About the Growth Mindset Test
A growth mindset test measures whether you tend to see ability as something you can develop (a growth mindset) or something fixed (a fixed mindset). The idea comes from Stanford psychologist Carol Dweck's research on how beliefs about ability shape effort and resilience.
How it works
The 40 questions look at how you react to mistakes, criticism, difficult tasks and other people's success. Your result falls into one of four levels: Strong growth, Leaning growth, Mixed or Fixed. When you finish, you get a written report explaining your result, the strengths often paired with it and practical next steps.
Frequently asked questions
What does the Growth Mindset Test measure?
A growth mindset test measures whether you tend to see ability as something you can develop (a growth mindset) or something fixed (a fixed mindset).
How long does the growth mindset test take?
It has 40 questions and takes around 6 minutes. There are no right or wrong answers, so answer honestly rather than how you would like to be.
What is the difference between a fixed and growth mindset?
With a fixed mindset, setbacks feel like proof of your limits, so challenges are often avoided. With a growth mindset, setbacks are information, so effort and feedback feel worthwhile.
Can you change a fixed mindset?
Yes. Mindset is a set of beliefs and habits, not a trait you are stuck with. Noticing fixed-mindset thoughts and reframing them is the usual starting point.
Is it free?
