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.
