Sadly, he describes the truth I have observed in my own sister.

This is true for many reasons.  First of all, people who believe in malleable intelligence take on challenges, and persist at them in ways that foster intellectual growth.  People who believe in fixed intelligence kind of limit what they are willing to try, and if it doesn't go well, they back off.  You can see how over the long run this could limit their intellectual growth. </P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/A6664F98-E1F2-4944-BF1F-F62D355F9CFE/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
