QUESTION

Rachel has a new job working at a conveyor belt in a paper recycling plant. She works the residential mixed paper line.

Her job is to pull off nonrecyclable items mixed in with the magazines, newspapers, and cereal-box cardboard. The first few days, when she had a coworker alongside her showing her the process, Rachel did fine. Now that she is on her own, she is having a hard time keeping up with the conveyor, and some nonrecyclable items are getting by her. Rachel is feeling like she will never get up to speed and is losing interest in the job. Rachel is suffering from having a fixed mindset.
Indicate whether the statement is true or false.

ANSWER

Answer: TRUE
Explanation: People with fixed mindsets tend to thrive or feel good when things are safely within their grasp. If things get too challenging—when they’re not feeling smart or talented—they lose interest.
