Thinking Mindsets

Below, is a chart I created. I ‘stole’ the descriptors and definitions from the brilliant Adam Grant and the first chapter of his book, Think Again: The Power of Knowing What You Don’t Know.

Read the various mindsets. Select the one that describes your most common way of thinking. Do you see the importance–assuming truth is your goal–of choosing to think like a scientist?

I encourage you to download and save this file for future reference.

Writer. Observer. Builder. I write from a life shaped by attention, simplicity, and living without a script—through reflective essays, long-form inquiry, and fiction rooted in ordinary lives. I live in rural Alabama, where writing, walking, and building small, intentional spaces are part of the same practice.
