Intelligence can be developed through effort from "summary" of Mindset by Carol S. Dweck
In a fixed mindset, people believe their basic qualities, like their intelligence or talent, are fixed traits. They spend their time documenting their intelligence or talent instead of developing them. They also believe that talent alone creates success - without effort. They're wrong. In a growth mindset, people believe that their most basic abilities can be developed through dedication and hard work - brains and talent are just the starting point. This view creates a love of learning and a resilience that is essential for great accomplishment. Virtually all great people have had these qualities. Teaching a growth mindset creates motivation and productivity in the worlds of business, education, and sports. It enhances relationships. What's so magical about effort? Well, it turns out that when you believe in your potential to develop your abilities, you take on challenges, work harder, and learn more. Teaching a growth mindset creates motivation and productivity in the worlds of business, education, and sports. It enhances relationships. It fosters resilience in the face of obstacles. When things are not going well and you're tempted to give up, the growth mindset holds you together. The fixed mindset, on the other hand, makes it harder to bounce back from setbacks. When you enter a mindset, you enter a new world. In one world - the world of fixed traits - success is about proving you're smart or talented. Validating yourself. In the other - the world of changing qualities - it's about stretching yourself to learn something new. Developing yourself. People in a growth mindset don't just seek challenge, they thrive on it. The bigger the challenge, the more they stretch. And nowhere can it be seen more clearly than in the world of sports. The growth mindset allowed athletes to continue pursuing their goals despite setbacks. They were not consumed with proving they were better than others. Instead, they focused on becoming better.
