Welcome and thank you!

In my thirty-plus-year career in Learning and Development, one of the most important things I’ve learned is the concept of mindset. I’m not going to say too much about it yet as I don’t want to influence your responses to the survey questions. But know that after the survey you’ll have a chance to learn more about what kind of mindset you have and why it’s so important.
 
Seriously, mindset is likely the number one skill you didn’t know you needed.

Each question gives you two options to choose from. Pick the one that describes you most often, in most situations. Be honest!  Seriously, this survey is private and you’ll get more out of it if you’re super honest in your replies.
 
The quiz was designed using Carol Dweck’s outstanding book: Mindset, the new psychology of success, how we can learn to fulfill our potential.
 
The survey takes about 5 minutes to complete.

Cheers,
Lee-Anne Ragan
